Krueger, 58, had a new book coming out in June

Must have been writers block.

Gee. Another Clinton acquaintence pushing up daisies. I’m shocked. (Is anyone maintaining “The Clinton Body Count” list any more?)

IF you knew what he knew, you’d commit “arkancide” too....

“He determined that a higher minimum wage did not slow down hiring”

Cool! Let’s have a $1,000,000 per Hour Minimum Wage!

Imagine trying to go through life with the stench of the Tune and Odumbo clinging to you. It’s just too much for some.

He found himself on the wrong side of history, and, had nowhere else to go.

Was he found hanging from a red scarf on a doorknob?

while he did show that raising the minimum wage didn’t lead to decreased hiring of entry-levels - in the fast food industry - other research has shown that raising the minimum wage did indeed reduce quits, but put pressure on employers to pay more to those who would have stuck around anyway. And, the raises for existing employees weren’t as large as they would have been at a lower minimum wage.

Any championing of minimum wage increases should be tempered with the realization that increasing entry level wages directly affects existing employees’ eligibility for raises as well as the average amounts of those raises. Robbing Peter to pay Paul, so to speak.

Probably his mother was brutally honest with him at last and told him that she was severely disappointed in him. After spending all that money to send him to college and he turned into a worthless Progressive shill and an embarrassment to the family name.

Sure seems to be going around.

Involuntarily assisted perhaps?

I would wager my allowance (if I got an allowance.)

Mental illness is a real thing, its dark, its torturous, and it strikes (at least as viewed by the outside world) seemingly without warning. Because of not wanting to be seen as weak, or of being embarassed, people suffer from it for decades quietly.

And sometimes they can’t stand it any more.

That’s the likeliest scenario here.

What kind of dirt did he have on the Clintons?

Maybe he saw the errors of his ways and he was too embarrassed to admit them.

Sounds like he was a good guy. Some times the explanation is simply the “dark side”. Sad.

I just assume Arkancide anymore. I don’t even consider the possibility of genuine suicide if there is any link to the Clintons.

Occam’s Razor: Liberals are typically miserable, depressed people. That’s why they become Liberals.

Very sorry for his family.
