Alan Krueger, a Princeton University economist and a top adviser under two Presidents, has died at age 58 after taking his own life.
“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,” a statement from his family reads. “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.”
His passing was initially announced Monday by Princeton, which praised him as “a true leader in his field, known and admired for both his research and teaching.”
Krueger was chief economist at the Department of Labor under President Clinton from 1994 to 1995, and chair of the White House Council of Economic Advisers under President Obama from 2011 to 2013.

Was it!??! That’s awesome. Cranking out great cars!
Ya know, I was NEVER retro.
I had the camaro and the firebird and went foreign with the Nissan 350Z
But I NEVER thought I’d be driving a challenger.
I LOVE IT.
If you’re curious do a search for Chrysler Brampton plant to see some photos of the place. Fiat of course owns Chrysler so maybe you were returning to your Italian roots. :)
lol
I took a look. It’s YUGE!
And I had NO IDEA FIAT stood for Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino!!
You learn something new here every day.
I’m home Pop!!!! :)
Many are committing suicide due to horrible, unrelenting pain. I’m afraid I will know the next one.
Did they find him in Fort Marcy Park?

Was hoping they misspelled Paul Krugman.
Yes...I've seen it too many times..
Terminal conditions..and they want everything done.
My father died of lung cancer...Died at my house at the age of 64...We knew he was terminal...and he didn't want to die in a hospital. Neither do I.
There is a Medical Industrial Complex also...I've seen it. $$$ rules..........Unless patients and family are educated....
Of course on the flip side...I've seen family demand everything be done....Why? Because there is a "check" involved...every month. They will let their loved one suffer...and linger for the $$$$.
No telling what people might do for money.....
Everything the Democrats pushed on the economy was wrong.
Everything Trump has done has improved the economy dramatically.
Ergo...
The dismal science.
ROTFL!
Don’t do it!! There will still be good times!!
I agree.
You’ll never see a Harley parked outside of a phychiatrist’s office either! Go out with the Challenger and jump on it when you leave a red light next to a car with a Coexist bumper sticker!
There - I fixed it. The monkey from a Nairobi bath house, of course.
ROFL!!
Cars and pets don’t care how old or out of shape one is!!
Gotta love em for that!! :)
Either that, or assisted suicide by the Clinton...
I’m a WHITE guy pushing 70, LIFE IS GREAT.
Just got to keep busy doing something you enjoy.
After being in the rat race since 1965; when I retired I decided I would just do what I wanted to do, when I wanted to do it, and only as much as I felt like.
I’m a dumb old dirt farmer now, and I love it.
Good for you!!
I am glad you are enjoying your retirement so much :)
