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.
What is the net-worth of each of the cars being crushed?

George W. Bush and the Republican-controlled governement gave away to hundreds of billions of US tax dollars to Mexico and to Mexican illegal aliens and their programs are still giving away hundreds of billions of US tax dollars to Mexico and you're worried about a few billion going to US taxpayers?
You are penny-wise and dollar foolish. No wonder the country is in this state of disrepair.
