Is United States Still The Superpower After Financial Crisis?

People argue that the world is now dominated by the US superpower but with the outcomes of the financial crisis is this still true?

From a military POV, we are still a super power.

As of right now yes, the US is still the leader of the world but not sure for how long since China is getting its influence all over the world and trading with people.

I would settle for just not being a nation that has such inept leadership and a populous that will believe you are a king when you are nothing more than a sound bite.

America will never be a superpower again until we assume the responsibility to pay reasonable taxes, which we havenÂ´t for a long time.
The public has been lied to for a long time and told they shouldntÂ´have to pay taxes, just a vote buying tactic, or that America has higher taxes than other countries, another ludicrous lie.

no. a superpower is labeled as the country everyone is relying on.

We can't even help ourselves any more. if anything China and Europe are the new superpowers. especially Europe. They're money is worth more than ours

Well we still have our massive military which will see growing membership as we lose more jobs.

The United States/Israel Zionist alliance would be even more dangerous if the rest of the world switched to a new currency, causing an economic collapse in America. It would probably go rogue, and do a nuclear first strike against its enemies.

WE HAVEN'T SOLD OUR NUKES.
SO, YES.

As far as economy goes, we are still the largest & have the most consumers [70% of our economy]

President Obama has prevented the 2nd Great Depression.
This is the single greatest economic miracle of all time & that is no exaggeration!
[Leading economic indicators like new housing starts, factory orders and new mortgage activity prove it.]
And now, consumer spending [70% of the economy] is also up.
Oh, and those banks paid back the TARP money early WITH INTEREST!

[I know, employment, right? That is the LAST thing to recover, ask any economist. Be patient]
