When a countries falls it's because the gap between the rich and the poor becomes too great. Which is why it is so important to keep the middle class happy. The more middle class there is the bigger the buffer between rich and poor and there is a smaller chance of an uprising by the poor. If you were to look at the social structure of the US at the moment, you will see that the middle class is actually becoming richer and the poor is becoming poorer. So it's safe to say it won't be long before the US collapses, unless something is done to keep those lower income brackets happy.
