US Population Growth is the Key
Be prepared for the next great transfer of wealth. Buy physical silver and storable food.

Question: So is it money v population that determines the overall trend?
Answer: Yes
The one consistent trend within the correlations that is part of the decline and fall of all empires, nations, and city states, is that as that society becomes more affluent, the birth rate ALWAYS declines. This is why Social Security and Pension funds tend to fail. They rely on increasing population to pay for the last. This is like creating a weather model under the assumption that because today it is bright and sunny, it will remain that way for the rest of time.
The debt burden then rises as government cannot meet its promises, as was the case in Rome, that is reflected back as raising taxes PER CA PITA because the population shrinks and this ultimately leads to civil unrest and the collapse of the system. Even Augustus (27BC-14AD) introduced family laws to compel men to get married and have children. He saw the immigrants were growing faster than Romans.
