Center for Economic and Policy Research

CEPR provides many resources, including the often updated op-eds of four economists: Dean Baker, Heather Boushey, John Schmitt, and Mark Weisbrot. CEPR is a DC thinktank that examines the economy from a critical standpoint. Other interesting functions of the site include a tax calculator that can allow users to input specific tax or spending numbers in the context of the US budget and key economic data from governmental releases.
