Welcome!

Welcome to Proportioned Beliefs, a collaborative weblog focusing on American politics and policy issues, with occasional forays into popular culture. A quick background on who we are and what we’re attempting to do with this space. Bo and I recently earned our graduate degrees in public policy, but we now find ourselves moving on to different careers in different cities. Since we've spent much of our free time over the past two years talking about wonky ideas, we'd really like to continue some of these discussions over the Internet.

Our hope is that this blog will motivate us to keep talking, and provide a forum for others to join in the conversation. Discussions will likely center on policy issues that catch our attention or that seem to have some relevance to current affairs. We also have a few ideas for longer-term projects that we think may be interesting, but please keep in mind that this is a work in progress! Like all great experiments, ours runs the risk of degenerating into self-indulgent nonsense.

Ultimately, we're just trying to have fun with this blog, while continuing to talking about things that pique our interest. Enjoy!
