Paying $1000/month to everyone is $327 billion/month or $3.9 trillion every year. With most people not working you'd have to print that money, destroying the dollar.

Also $1000/month is not even close to enough in most areas to live off. Rent + food + health insurance is a lot more than $1000 for most people.
