<p>While analysts see the stock market crash as a precurssor to economic apocalypse and Christian leaders encourage followers to prepare for worldwide disaster, Carly Fiorina stays optimisitc. She isn&#8217;t worried about the stock market situation. In fact, she thinks it&#8217;s quite normal. ;</p>
<p>&ldquo;I actually have been expecting a correction for some time,&rdquo; said Fiorina shortly after the stock market&rsquo;s selloff last Friday. &ldquo;The market has been way too high given the fundamentals. Our economy is not particularly strong, 2% growth is very lackluster.&rdquo;</p>
<p>The no-nonsense businesswoman told <em>Fox News</em> that the market ;&ldquo;has been way too high&rdquo; due to the Federal Reserve policy and referred to the ;current crash as a &ldquo;correction&rdquo; that is &ldquo;warranted.&rdquo; ;</p>
<p>&ldquo;China&rsquo;s economy has been slowing down for some time,&#8221; said Fiorina. &#8220;Europe&rsquo;s economy is in trouble. I think the stock market has hit record highs over and over again because the Federal Reserve has ensured, through its easy money policy, that the stock market&rsquo;s the only place you can earn a return. And now the Federal Reserve, finally, is going to back off of that easy money policy.&rdquo;</p>
<p>While on the air, Fiorina took the opportunity to criticize Hillary Clinton. &ldquo;The most effective thing a Republican candidate for office can do is to continue to throw punches at the other side,&rdquo; said Fiorina, &ldquo;because ultimately we&rsquo;re going to face off against a Democratic nominee. Maybe it&rsquo;s Hillary Clinton, maybe it&rsquo;s Joe Biden, whoever it is, I&rsquo;m going to continue to throw my punches at the Democrat Party and their nominee because that&rsquo;s the fight we&rsquo;re going to have to win in 2016.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Fiorina complained about the lack of &ldquo;common sense language&rdquo; regarding her opponents&rsquo; campaigns and encouraged ;voters to take a close look at her successful history as CEO of Hewlett-Packard. Fiorina ended the discussion by stressing the importance of small businesses. ;</p>
