What societal shifts do you imagine would occur if the national conversation shifted from debt reduction to creating public value?

ignoring the national debt would end up slowing any economic growth.

I believe a counterculture will arise if we switch to a public value creation society as many people will be wary about the sanctity of their own economies, which could collapse if played poorly, leading to events such as the hoarding of metals. I do also believe this will create a greater push for the government to provide these resources to the people, similar to the Public Works Programs of FDR. Finally, there'd also be a global shift as certain countries choose to take up the risk with the new system while others suspect a possible collapse of the economy due to the shift
