Was rhetoric always like that, or are people stretching their points harder nowadays?
For example: Monday "can be confiscated at whim, frozen by any banker at any point in time". Oh really? Any banker can confiscate any customer's money on a whim?
There's more. I find it very annoying.
"How many Greeks do you think had insurance on their bank accounts? All of them. What happened to that? Poof, in one afternoon. Vanished. 20% haircut." He makes it sound as if deposit insurance is supposed to insure against a tax claim by the state (in this case a rather sudden, surprising tax).
It's admirable, in a way, how some people manage to make weird things sound reasonable.
