Because the impact of any one individual on the economy is so small, and because people can't be "fired" from the US like they can from a company, the free rider problem could be real. This could end up just being an added cost to the country that doesn't actually increase productivity or incentives in a meaningfully different way that other forms of putting more money into people's pockets (lower taxes, universal basic income, etc)
