In an article on the jump in the trade deficit reported for May the Post referred to trade deals as "free trade" agreements. This is not accurate since the deals actually increase many protectionist barriers and do little or nothing to reduce the protectionist barriers that sustain high wages for many professionals. The Post could save space and increase accuracy if it just left out the word "free."

Since we're the only provider in your area, we'll charge triple the going rate, provide half the going service quality, trip you up with a series of bogus changes, upgrades and penalities, then when you try to cancel, send you a huge bill designed to intimidate you to keep the service.
We also offer employment opportunities. For example, debt collection is really hot right now. Rather than be on the receiving end of harassing calls from people who can barely read or speak, you can dish it out to others while digging out of your own crushing debt. It's self fulfilling and restores faith in these hard times. Of course you'll have to move offshore, but it's worth it since you don't have a house anymore.
