apparently the fact that money continues to circulate throughout the economy causing good things to happen is difficult for many people to understand

I understand this argument just fine. I’m just asking why can’t, or why shouldn’t, the government stimulate the economy by simply writing big checks for all of us making under, say, $75k per year? Wouldn’t that money continue to circulate throughout the economy causing good things to happen?
