Spain was a great empire in the 1500s to mid 1650s but due to various wrong policies it was overtaken by the Dutch and the British.

These are the mistakes Spain made:

1. Expensive overseas wars, esp. with France
2. Gold and silver from Americas led to internal negligence
3. Heavy taxation of the middle-class 
4. Expulsion of Muslims and Jews
5. Gold and silver from Americas led to soaring inflation

Looking at the US:

1. Expensive overseas wars
2. Printing of money, lots of it. Neglected their manufacturing for a long time
3. Taxation of middle-class is higher than that of the rich
4. Strong racism against the Blacks and Chinese
5. High inflation that cannot be controlled

Is the US doomed to go down?
