Rome fell for a lot more than two reasons and it took at least 200 centuries during which they suffered civil war after civil war between emperors fighting for power, severely weakening the empire over this long time.
So while the US currently might have a few facets similar to Rome during it's decline, it differs in a lot of other points. So I'd say it's simply not comparable.
