What were "public works projects"? What famous ones were part of the New Deal? What public works projects would you recommend for our society today?

Overall the New Deal included two main goals:

• Overcome the Depression and make the economy more stable
  
• Wanted to give enough help to the lower classes to keep rebellion from turning into a revolution

Some public works projects that helped the New Deal progress were:


-Capitalism was reestablished (the new deal re-organized the government)

-TVA (Tennessee Valley Author) provided jobs for citizens to make profit to provided for themselves, and there families

-NRA (National Recovery Act) outlawed in 1934 because too much power was given to the President, this was to make our nations type of Government less like a dictatorship

Some new public works projects I could think of to help out society today would be along the lines of employment and helping find jobs for unemployed citizens (educated or not) this will help the homelessness rate, and loss of homes and/or property. I am not sure which jobs or positions would be available for all but I know construction, organizations, and corporations that need recuriters would be benefitted by this new public works project.
If I were to come up with another public works project it would be a new law about healthcare for all. This could help make families and Americans healthier, and decrease death by illnesses and other untreated (or lack of) medical conditions.
