Nobel laureate, George A. Akerlof:
"'I think this is the worst government the US has ever had in its more than 200 years of history. It has engaged in extradordinarily irresponsible policies not only in foreign policy and economics but also in social and environmental policy,' said the 2001 Nobel Prize laureate who teaches economics at the University of California in Berkeley."
"'This is not normal government policy. Now is the time for (American) people to engage in civil disobedience. I think it's time to protest - as much as possible,' the 61-year-old scholar added."
