The letters mentioned refer to various agencies and programs, many of which were created during Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal era to address the economic hardships of the Great Depression. Here's a breakdown:
A.A.A.: Agricultural Adjustment Act (or Administration) - This was designed to boost agricultural prices by subsidizing farmers who agreed to reduce production.
N.L.B.: National Labor Board - Preceded the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), it was an early effort to mediate labor disputes.
P.W.A.: Public Works Administration - This was established to reduce unemployment by sponsoring various public works projects.
C.C.C.: Civilian Conservation Corps - A work relief program that employed young men in conservation and natural resource-related projects.
The poem seems to use these abbreviations to highlight the expansive nature of New Deal programs and perhaps to critique their perceived inefficiencies or negative impacts.

A.A.A. - get the people used to high food prices, hunger, and government dependence.
EPA - continue the process by converting food to fuel
Sounds like ACTUAL shovel ready jobs unlike Obama's nonexistent jobs.
