Now that OBL is dead, will it really help the economy?

[Kyle]

I heard on the radio just now that early trading on crude oil markets are down, the US dollar is at a 3 year high in the current open markets, and sources are already saying that its going to help the economy to pick up the pace. Can the death of this one man really have this much of any impact?

What do you guys think? Anything to this?

Short term yes long term no.

I just hope it helps gas prices a little bit. I'm not making shit at my new job and I'm spending $10 a day on gas.

Yes because the government used him for their political agenda and put him out to pasture. Please the people, have them wrapped around your pinky.

As a practicing Financial Economist and Analyst, I'll say:

Short term yes long term no.

Lol, FreightTrain nailed it. Killing the dirtbag doesn't affect our 500% debt/gdp level, but it does help the pysche and perception that "maybe these guys can tackle a problem and deliver".
