That would remove much of the point. One of the basic premises of the idea is that individuals are better at knowing how to maximise their utility than the government. Will some people just use the money for beer and video games? Sure. But some people might also use the money in a really creative, positive, way that you and I haven't thought of. I'm willing to accept the former in the hope of increasing the chance of the latter.
