I don't understand, if any country HAS to print money, why not via direct payments to the public?

  The usual argument for supply side stimulus is that everyone spends most of their money. So if you give businesses money they will produce more things and grow the economy. The problems start when people are too poor to afford those additional products and companies simply stop investing into growth because they can't sell their products. Once you reach this point, giving them more money does nothing.
