A liquidity glut is caused by savings exceeding desired investment. A shortage in desired investment is caused by an undersupply of investment opportunities. An increase in the supply of real investment opportunities can be incentivized by subsidizing public inducement prize competitions. The 'stabilizers' you propose subsidize the income of individuals but do not necessarily change individuals preference for savings vs consumption.

Poorer people typically have a lower propensity to save than rich people, though, so redistribution does influence the overall savings rate.
