History has shown that the US has done rather well by many metrics. If history is to be repeated, the US will do rather well again.

...yes, well, looking back a little further than a couple centuries, empires crumble, their citizens starve, and barbarians pillage the remains.

If history is to be repeated the US will die and it will die screaming.

Uttering the words, "history is repeating itself," is meaningless without context. What part of history is repeating itself? Are you drawing analogies to post-WW1 Germany? The fall of the Roman Empire? Or to the abuses brought to light in the 70's as another commenter pointed out?
