You may be referring to the "Great Society." President Lyndon B. Johnson wanted to try to end poverty, reduce crime, and also reduce income inequality. He also wanted to improve the environment. Beginning in May of 1964, he announced a series of programs and policies that he hoped would achieve these goals, including what he called the "War on Poverty." As part of the policies he supported, he started the Job Corps, to provide vocational training; and he also championed Medicare, to provide affordable health care for the elderly.
