You do have me on the fabricated assertions point.  I call them baseless assertions.  So, my baseless assertion is that government agencies waste tons of money.  You contend that I should support it.  You can go here- http://www.heritage.org/budget-and-spending/report/50-examples-government-waste- for 50 examples of government waste.  From the report- "Federal agencies are delinquent on nearly 20 percent of employee travel charge cards, costing taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars annually."  Can you say, unequivocally, that NOAA or NASA has never been guilty of doing this?  I doubt it.  And I'm sure you will tell me "It is YOUR responsibility to provide support for that claim, not mine to refute it."
