The US population is projected to 385M in 2055. [0] What makes you think the population will dramatically shrink?

Even if it did, the money would come from global investors who find the US more attractive than their home markets.

The birthrate across all western nations has been below replacement levels for quite a while. All nations will see population shrink in the coming decades (aside from labor importation)
