Editing Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (section)

== History ==
The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities was established in 1981 by '''Robert Greenstein''' as a response to concerns over the economic challenges facing low-income Americans during the Reagan administration. The organization’s original focus was on the federal budget, particularly addressing issues such as cuts to social safety nets and the growing income inequality in the U.S.

Over the years, CBPP has grown to include a broader focus on policy areas such as health care, education, social security, and housing, while maintaining a commitment to advocating for the needs of low-income families. CBPP's work has influenced policy debates on tax reform, health care reform, and poverty alleviation in the U.S.
