The U.S. government has great power all over the world in many ways. This is an undeniable fact. The national defense budget of U.S. is on a similar scale to the combined national defense budget of the other second to 15^th largest countries. Through this information, it is safe to say that the U.S. military might be the best in the world. Also, the economic growth is stable and sustained. The per capita GDP(Gross Domestic Product) of the United States is overwhelming compared to other countries, and the size of economics has been growing for 90 years since the Great Depression. The U.S. is the only country shows this kind of economic status all over the world, and this shows the economic ability and power of the U.S. government. As such a prominent power, the U.S. has a lot of influence on other countries, and naturally many people in the world are watching the U.S. government.

It’s perfectly natural for each to make their own point and to suggest the direction in which the country should go to.
