> there would be a lot more new cars on the road

The current pensionists wouldn't be spending their pension then, so there would be roughly the same "new cars on the road".

The real problem seems to be that poor people's real job in this economy is to be spending their money, and the actual work is just a meaningless trap.

"Smart" and "stupid" poor people generalization is also a disheartening protofascist sentiment.

Pensioners don't buy new cars in Europe. It's an American perspective that elderly are wealthy.

My grampa in Germany was getting his Golf renewed every few years up until he couldn't drive anymore.
