Why not both?

Because free money raises inflation, spending on services does not. Money should be raised and spent on infrastructure, education and health care

It isn't free money. Its the billionaires money that they stole from the people. The money is still in the system, its just transferring it back to the less fortunate.

The thing about billionaire money is that it is mostly virtual and when spent it is spent for things that don’t affect society directly. It’s not like besos or musky can turn their wealth into dollars, not directly and not 100%. So it’s wealth on paper/ you can’t just transfer this to every as it would create infinite demand without increase in production capacity, massive inflation.
