As a population, we are bounded by land and resources. Birth rates are on a major decline, and if not for immigration, our population would actually be declining the last few years.

Of course I understand that. We have immigrants though. We are still the biggest economy in the world. There's plenty of potential for growth out there. Of course there is a limit to the population we can support, but I don't believe we're there yet. (Yes though, finite is by definition true)

And our debt is infinite because it has no limit (we keep raising it)

It has a limit. Sure it's about the time we can't pay it off and default, but there is a limit to how high it can go. (I love semantics)
