Economic Policy Institute

[ribozyme]

What do you think about it?

Here’s there agenda:

What is EPI’s mission?

To inform people and empower them to seek solutions that will ensure broadly shared prosperity and opportunity.

What are EPI’s Values?

• Helping Working People — Economic policy should focus on improving conditions for working people.
• Truth and Accuracy Matter — EPI research should be honest and rigorous.
• Dignified, Remunerative Work — People must be provided with the capacity and opportunity for dignified, remunerative work for personal as well as societal benefit.
• Strong, Effective Labor Movement — A strong, effective labor movement is essential for democracy and to ensure an equitable sharing of income and wealth.
• Government For the People — Government should set standards and rules for markets, and should ensure the efficient provision of public goods and investments.

I do not see anything wrong with this…
I also based this thread on this thread on IIDB:

Anything you dislike about this group? The only thing I dislike is their meager amount of funding. Only about 5 million dollars a year compared to tens of millions for other think tanks.

The trouble with most think tanks is that ultimately they want to tell me how to order my life; in other words, they want to lessen my degree of freedom.

Whatever… I can’t even spell “their” correctly anymore.

I thought some people would agree with their agenda.

I don’t buy the whole "the sky is falling’ routine from them and others you have links to in your sig.

I think most of those values are also included in the CCC. One of the things I agree with the RC on.
