Both Rome and the USA suffered from chronic budget overspending on military. But the Romans did so while defending their borders, whereas the USA have overstretched their military obligations around the globe in recent years. The good news is: if they cut back these and concentrate in future only on vital threats to their national security, they can slow down their strategic and financial decline, perhaps even reverse it. The Romans who were threatened in their heartland did not have this option.
