If everyone starts receiving $1000/month for more than a year (to say nothing of $2000/month all at once to kick things off), the dollar will lose purchasing power so fast it will make your head spin. So $1000 won't be $1000. What sucks is that the alternative may be even worse.

That would be on top of the proposed initial $2000 for everyone, or ~$506 billion. So now we're talking about $4.3 trillion being injected into the economy in a little over a year. And these dollars will be chasing a finite (in fact reduced) supply of goods. That means inflation.
Thanks for the explanation. Crazy that all of the sudden these are the numbers under consideration.
