Hoover spent $500 million a year on public works and government programs to build or improve government properties. The most famous was the Hoover (Boulder) Dam. Congress established the Reconstruction Finance Corporation (continued by FDR) which created an agency to help banks, railroads, and other key businesses to stay in business thus helping the economy. All of these things could not stem the tide of the economic collapse. Hoover believed in a balanced budget and not pumping government money into the economy.President Hoover proposed the creation of public works projects to help Americans get back into jobs.

The war on poverty was not a military engagement- it refers to the new federal programs designed to combat poverty under the Lyndon Johnson administration. I can't think of any previous programs of similar nature that were called wars. Since then there is the war on drugs.
The W.P.A. aka the Works Projects Administration
The New Deal is the name given Franklin D. Roosevelt's plan to help bring the nation out of the Great Depression of the 1930s. It was a plan to bring economic relief, recovery, and reform to the nation. It was the first time emphasis was placed on making the federal government more responsive to the economic needs of the population. The legislation enacted by Congress during FDR's administration make up the New Deal. The package included programs that put Americans back to work, programs that gave a safety net to the elderly, and programs that helped impoverished Americans to pay for food or medicine. Among the programs were the WPA (Works Progress Administration), Federal Writers Project, Rural Electrification Administration, the NRA (National Recovery Administration), and the Social Security Act. Not all of the many programs were successful, and some were ended, replaced by new ones.
The Works Progress Administration was intended to put money into the economy by having millions of unemployed people paid by the government to perform work that would benefit the nation. This included such things as building roads, dams, schools, libraries, parks, stadiums, etc.
The backbone of the New Deal included regulation of the banks, regulation of the Stock Market, relief and public works programs, like the CCC and WPA. The Civilian Conservation Corps was one of the most popular programs. Other major attempts to get us out of the Depression included the Tennessee Valley Authority, the Agricultural Adjustment Act, The National Recovery Administration, the Civil Works Administration, and the Emergency Banking Act.
