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.

Wonder if it was “assisted”?
What did he know about Bill or Hillary that was such a threat to them?
If one is in real physical pain i can see taking oneself out. Barring that I would never forgive any friend or family member for doing that.
He probably become depressed when he realized his life’s work could be replicated by a monkey throwing darts.
And did he shoot himself in the back of the head?
There’s more suicides in 50s and 60s than I thought there would be.
White men are high up there.
So much is expected from any of them and maybe sometimes if you look back on your life and it just isn’t what you wanted it to be or thought it would be, you give in to the despair.
I just made myself so depressed!
Families were too ashamed to admit it.
Can’t imagine anyone being proud about having been an Obama Administration economist.
Sure.........
A life of knowing you were paid to lie for a totalitarian regime with evil plans.
Sad...but he probably could not handle the fact that be believed about economics was utter nonsense....
Men of any race need to accept the humbling of age and the inconsequence of our life’s work in the grand scheme. Jesus is our redeemer and, without Him, all is madness and not worth living. My life certainly hasn’t been what I wanted but I’m learning to embrace what Jesus wanted and spending my remaining years living for Him rather than my ego or vanity.
Did he shoot himself in the back of the head..twice
No better truth could ever be written than your post.
Arkancide or Obamacide?
hmmmmmm
Maybe the poor bastard couldn’t live with himself anymore for having served two such vile scumbags.
Well there you have it! I’m still living for my ego and vanity.
I’m not gonna lie. It’s too tiring.
Time for some introspection, I guess.
But I would never kill myself. I enjoy the little things as I get older and it sustains me.
More prayer wouldn’t hurt.
The patented Clinton Double-Tap Suicide strikes again!
Seesh, compared to being an economist under Clinton and then Obama our lives are roaring successes!
Hang in there buddy, we’re still desperately needed.
