Fiorina: Feds bigger threat than global warming

So are education obstacles, web of dependencies

GOP presidential hopeful Carly Fiorina, formerly the chief of Hewlett-Packard, says the federal government itself is a bigger threat to America than so-called global warming.

In a recent interview with Katie Couric, Fiorina was responding to Couric’s question about whether she thinks climate change is a “serious issue.”

“I think it’s an issue,” she said. “I think we ought to be focusing our time, energy and resources on innovations. We need to keep it in perspective.”

Couric interrupted her to repeat the question, asking specifically about how serious Fiorina believes the issue to be.

She said far more dangerous to America is the “web of dependencies” into which people fall, the issue of whether “people are getting a good education” and the “dangers we face around the world.”

Even, she said, “The fact our government is a vast, bloated, unaccountable, corrupt bureaucracy.”

The Political Insider commented: “Former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina is Hillary Clinton’s worst nightmare. She is tough and articulate. And after her extraordinary performance during the ‘earlier’ Fox News debate last week, she showed she’s ready for battle. Her polling numbers are skyrocketing.”
