Well, its easy then: dont give it to government organisations, just give the money to other people directly in the form of a basic income.
Set up a commercial bank owned by all the people of the US of A (you get one share when born and the share is non-fungible/non-tradeable) then let this bank fund small and medium bussinesses only. They are responsible for the majority of the work anyway. Tax land as well. Profits go to the shareholders and a well pages CEO, who also pays a hefty income tax. Rinse repeat. Set the maximum to a set multiple of the minimum. So you could become a billionaire theoretically, you Just have to make all Americans millionairs first.

I actually like the idea. Unfortunately it will never happen, because ultimately the government decides what happens, and this plan doesn't help the government. Maybe make the current president the CEO of this bank or something and it could get some momentum. But then we have whatever idiot got elected most recently using the bank as a political weapon.
