This is what I mean with demographic factor.
At the moment it will not affect the US as much cause the population growth rate is still higher than ours. The social systems are also different. Based on their systems the lack of financial power within the country and their low export rate will kick in worse. ... well and high interest rates and the habit to live on credit of course.
