No one seems to be writing opinion pieces quite the way I would, so I decided to do it myself.

The name? Taverns are places where one goes to discuss the interesting events and things in the world, so this is my tavern.

I will offer my views on politics, economics, and whatever else strikes my fancy.
I will occasionally publish the entire article from another journal for purposes of causing discussion.

 
This is a pretty neat website if you are interested in US macroeconomics.

Keep in mind that the numbers indicated a preliminary are subject to change as the BLS gets additional data.
