Alan Krueger, adviser to Pres Clinton and Obama found dead of a suicide at age 58
https://conservativefighters.org/news/al...ife-at-58/

Quote:Alan Krueger, top economic adviser to President Bill Clinton and President Barack Obama, has died at the age of 58.

Krueger was found dead on Saturday at his home in Princeton, New Jersey. His family said in a statement released by Princeton University, where he taught since 1987, that the cause of death was suicide.

“It is with tremendous sadness we share that Professor Alan B. Krueger, beloved husband, father, son, brother, and Princeton professor of economics, took his own life over the weekend.

“The family requests the time and space to grieve and remember him. In lieu of flowers, we encourage those wishing to honor Alan to make a contribution to the charity of their choice.”

Princeton had not provided a cause of death. The university said in its statement: “In addition to his scholarship, Alan’s life exemplified a commitment to public service. He was married with two children.

Krueger was the chief economist for the U.S. Department of Labor in 1994 and 1995 under Clinton and was an assistant secretary of the Treasury from 2009 to 2010 and the chair of the White House Council of Economic Advisers from 2011 to 2013 under Obama.

A distinguished labor economist, Krueger was perhaps most famous for empirical research finding that increases in the minimum wage did not cause the large job losses that were expected. That original finding led to a broader reconsideration of the minimum wage within academic economists.

Most recently, Krueger had written a book on inequality, due in June, titled “Rockonomics: A Backstage Tour of What the Music Industry Can Teach Us about Economics and Life.”

In a statement, Obama called Krueger “a fundamentally good and decent man.”

“Alan was someone who was deeper than numbers on a screen and charts on a page,” Obama said. “He saw economic policy not as a matter of abstract theories, but as a way to make people’s lives better.”

Krueger received numerous awards, including the Kershaw Prize by the Association for Public Policy and Management in 1997 for distinguished contributions to public policy analysis by someone under the age of 40.

He is survived by his wife, Lisa, and two children.

Bodies piling up like logs of wood.
Ds always argue that well the Clintons just know a lot of people and when you know a lot of people % wise some people just die.

How many people, who've died at a young age and of suspicious causes, do you know?

Mach and RWT seem to have taken a break for some reason. Don't worry, MENSA and Schwag are still here along with a couple of others who like to present as rational individuals, but we know better. One can always tell because they wear their rationality very uncomfortably.

If that is the case? Trump would have been bumped off a long time ago since he was closed to the Clintons.

Looks like another case to Alex Jones on...

While you’re at it, pick up some of his branded supply rations for the upcoming zombie apocalypse and also a few cans of his weight loss supplements.

What makes you think they didn't try? They've tried everything else.

This thread would be more meaningful if the OP would have gotten the individual's name correct, and had taken the time to edit his post.

In 2017, Alan Krueger published alarming findings on the opioid crisis, suggesting that nearly half of all prime-age working men absent from the labor force took pain medication on a daily basis. Since the majority of his 81-page paper suggested that older workers were not happy and also were taking more and more opiods, my speculation is that he was taking opiods himself. And that was the cause of his suicide. I'm sure only his family and doctor know for sure, but I think my theory is a hell of a lot more plausible than everyone else's here.

The title ended up getting the A cut off due to character limits. but if you actually READ the post it said Alan Krueger.

You're the first person to mention it. I didnt notice it until now. It's changed.

Thank you. I did read the first post. I thought it said Ian Krueger and not Lan Krueger. That's weird how the first letter of a title gets cut off - it seems like it should be the last letters instead.

I had to rework it a few times to get it to fit. I failed on a copy/paste.

Classic Lowercase L vs Uppercase I issue with modern fonts.
