That would be a really stupid thing to do. The government is already spending money it doesn't have.

It would destroy the low skill labor market and increase prices across the board. There would be no legitimate growth and it would have a negative impact on everyone’s savings. The ONLY way this would be acceptable is if it replaced already on the books entitlements that bleed money in red tape. Giving the people direct access to their entitlement funds would have a net positive over the loss of value through the government administrative process.
