But this is my money then, isn't it? My property - my rules.

If I have enough money without this check due to personal savings and economy, it would be pretty much unequal and unfair situation if I won't get anything from this helicopter money (making it expire) and some guy who got himself several debts for parties and travelling will get help.

Let's say that people actually spend money given to them, but invest their remaining saving into investments, if that make someone feel better. If I have my own 1200USD and get "expiable" 1200USD for free - it doesn't matter which one I spend, technically.
