If they printed enough money to "give us all $10 Million" it would be obviously inflationary and CRUSH the $USD. But by giving us an insignificant amount, they can (1) NOT make the inflation and currency destruction obvious, and (2) make it LOOK like the politicians are "doing something for the people/country".... election in the wings, you know. (We'd get more out of it if the politicos offered to wipe our butts!!)
