A couple of guys, Lindsey Williams and Barry Meyer, are predicting a total collapse of the American
economy. The pair has documented signs that the destructive crash is moving at a quick pace and
could fall into total disarray even before ABC cancels "The Goldbergs" or very shortly afterwards.

Both men agree that three circumstances in the financial world have to occur before ultimate
collapse. "These are complicated situations that most common Americans cannot expect to
understand," said one economist reviewing the prediction, "so most people are not concerned and
those who are worried subscribe to Glen Beck's online programs."

Williams and Meyer - who often argue which name should come first when mentioning them both in the
same breath or a breath apart from a sigh or cough - so not see the collapse as part of a worldwide
event, simply the end of the United States participation in the global economy, as well as igniting
a major depletion of canned goods in groceries.

Emma Sidegrip, a British economist, said, "The U.S. dollar has been shrinking quickly, even as
obesity increases in that country."

Meyer and Williams expert, Fern Wicklope, whose book "I Met Meyer and Williams on a Cruise to the
Caribbean" has raised eyebrows, said, "When the money goes sour, as the saying goes, but the saying
doesn't go sour, just the money. Anyway, with no money and the inability to borrow money, the
United States will be broke. That goes without saying, though I said it because it sounds like it
could never happen. Yet, Williams and Meyer have thoroughly employed actual circumstances that will
provoke going broke. I use other clever rhymes like that in my book, so please buy it while your
money is still worth anything."

Without being financially savvy, one could predict more than the three situations leading to a
financial collapse of America. We asked economists and people who claimed to be economists and
people who found economics a fun hobby to come up with devastating circumstances. Here are those
results.

"If the Fed were to begin printing more money than it has paper to print the money, there would be
nothing to print money upon."
|
| |
|
"If the President showed up for a press conference and made his pockets turn inside out, revealing
there were no bills or change in them, we would surely know the end was here."
