re: 2002 vs. 1983

JS@alaska.com
I didnt mean to imply a relationship. The dates intrigued me. 1983 came out of the recession that greeted the new Reagan administration after the disasterous(stagflation) carter presidency. 2002 comes out of the deflation of a bubble that started to burst in 1999. Although totally different in appearance and fundamental nature, perhaps corporate america was in the same boat nevertheless. What was capex spending and interest rates like during the post carter recession? Stuff like that. Any eco historians amongst us?
By the way will yesterdays "Snyder" rally continue after some expected profit taking this morning? When do we get to 2100? Should the new slogan for nasdq be 2100 in y2100??These are the questions we need answers for today. mike@stillupbeattoday.com

OT entire health-care industry ... productivity is declining

Interesting statement for a retired physician to make. Do you have any evidence, anecdotal or otherwise?

Productivity in the overall economy tends to soar during recessions as companies cut costs and lay off workers. If your point is that healthcare has been insulated from this general trend, I can see what you mean.
