I like such proposals (sarcasm). where do you get the money from, what you wish to distribute?
In general free money -> less people will work (why to work if I still get money? - see the masses living on unemployment benefits - libre time :) ) -> less people working -> higher taxes -> people will be :( on both ends. Higher minimum! Lower taxes! Down with the government! Yay. Printing money would lead to inflation - more money worth less. And these are the basic, most visible IRL effects. Pls forget these economical nonsenses.
