What parallels, if any, can be drawn from Ancient Rome and the current state of the USA?

I’ve been hearing several people, and news corporations, comparing the Decline and Fall of Rome to what is currently happening in The United States of America.
The decline of Rome, from my understanding, is still not 100% certain, however many certainty’s are known. This link mentions a few factors in the decline including:
Decline in Morals and Values
Public Health
Unemployment
Inflation
Military Spending
Is America doomed to the same fall that Rome succumbed to when they were a World Power. Is this inevitable or preventable? Can America take the plate they have made themselves and turn things around to prevent the same demise?
