Another zero. Our decline is not analogous to Rome's. Their decline was due to a sort of entropy. Rome was a dictatorship and did not have the vigor of a democracy. The three big variables causing the decline in the US and income inequality are the rise of the plutocrats, robots and a world economy, which means we need unions to protect pay and rights of the middle class; and we need to restructure our economy and society to accommodate those new variables. Feed that to him-lol.
