Everything about The Center On Budget And Policy Priorities totally explained
The
Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP) is a
non-profit think tank which describes itself as a "policy organization ... working at the federal and state levels on fiscal policy and public programs that affect low- and moderate-income families and individuals." Based in
Washington, D.C., CBPP was founded in 1981 by
Robert Greenstein, who continues to serve as executive director and has a budget of about $13 million.
Since 1993, CBPP has worked to build capacity for state budget and policy analysis through its State Fiscal Analysis Initiative (SFAI), a network of independent state level organizations; as of 2006, SFAI had 29 members. CBPP established the International Budget Project in 1997 to help organizations in new democracies (such as former Soviet republics) and developing countries conduct budget analysis aimed at making these countries’ budget systems more open and responsive.
Donors
According to New York Times reporter Matt Bai, CBPP is one of three left wing think tanks funded by the
Democracy Alliance. The other two are the
Center for American Progress and the
Economic Policy Institute. According to Bai's account, representatives of CBPP and the other two Democracy Alliance-sponsored think tanks attended the May 2006 meeting of the Democracy Alliance at the Barton Creek Resort near Austin, Texas. Their role was to "talk about the agendas they were busy crafting that would catapult Democratic politics into the economic future."
Criticisms
Some groups who oppose the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities's policy positions accuse the group of producing misleading studies.
