No it doesn't. The program pays people to crush cars years before they would normally get crushed. This means fewer older cars on the road than without the program.

Really? From what source did you obtain the schedule of when cars 'normally' get crushed and how many fewer cars are going to be on the road as a result of this program as opposed to those that would be on the road without it?

Got a link you'd care to share with the rest of us rubes?

You don’t think paying people $4500 to have their car crushed will result in more cars being crushed?

How about water? Is it wet or...no?

As for the numbers involved, one billion divided by $4500 equals 222,000 cars. If Congress extends another 2 billion to the program, that’s 666,000 cars. And we’re talking about this many being crushed in a matter of months. If the program is made permanent and gets expanded, then it’ll easily be millions of cars a year, which will mean tens of millions in the course of a decade.
