Toxic Asset?

It's incredible the newspeak that government and big media rolls past the American public with impunity. How can an asset be toxic? Wouldn't anything toxic really be a liability? Honestly folks wake up! The shills and statisticians (but forgive me for being redundant) can lie right in your face and you don't even blink?

I can't wait to hear the next one they'll whip up to run up your flagpole. Perhaps "romantic rapist" or the "honest thief."
