The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP) is an American think tank that analyzes the impact of federal and state government budget policies from a progressive viewpoint. The Center's stated mission is to "conduct research and analysis to help shape public debates over proposed budget and tax policies and to help ensure that policymakers consider the needs of low-income families and individuals in these debates."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.cbpp.org/about/#mission )〕 The Center generally argues for more spending for social programs and against cutting taxes.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.annenbergclassroom.org/page/critical-thinking-resources-for-social-security )〕 CBPP was founded in 1981 by Robert Greenstein, a former political appointee in the Jimmy Carter administration. Greenstein founded the organization, which is based in Washington, D.C., to provide an alternative perspective on the social policy initiatives of the Ronald Reagan administration. CBPP is organized as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Though the organization describes itself as non-partisan,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Center on Budget and Policy Priorities: Press Room )〕 journalists have characterized it as liberal or left of center.〔Stacy Kaper, (Liberal Think Tank: Debt Ceiling Is Biggest Threat ) ''National Journal'' 6 December 2012〕 ==Overview== Based in Washington, D.C., the Center was founded in 1981 by Robert Greenstein, who continues to serve as the organization's president. In 2013, the Center reported revenue of $37.5 million, expenses of $27.3 million, and total year-end assets of $67.7 million. In 1993, the Center was involved in the founding of the State Fiscal Analysis Initiative (SFAI), a network of nonprofit, state-level policy organizations that examine state budget and tax policies and their effect on low- and moderate-income households. In 1997, the Center established the International Budget Partnership (IBP). The IBP publishes an annual Open Budget Index which measures governmental budget transparency and accountability around the world. In 2005, representatives of CBPP attended a May 2006 meeting of the Democracy Alliance along with the Center for American Progress and the Economic Policy Institute to "talk about the agendas they were busy crafting that would catapult Democratic politics into the economic future." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Center on Budget and Policy Priorities」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
