The political organization backed by the Koch brothers plans to spend almost a billion dollars in the 2016 campaign cycle.
The Kochs’ political organization, flush with new donors, is budgeting $889 million for the 2016 cycle.

News of the fundraising goal was revealed by donors at a yearly winter retreat hosted by Freedom Partners, a tax-exempt group that acts as the center of the Koch brothers-backed political operation, according to The Washington Post.
The $889 million is double what the 17 groups in the Koch network spent in 2012.

Wow. If they gave me $1,000,000 I would never talk shit about them ever again. Not a good return on their investment, but still, I do talk a lot of shit about them.
Is there a saturation point where no amount of money will swing an election one way or another?
I seem to remember there is, but I have no idea what the amount might be. I do remember it’s a lot.
Just a Billion?
Oh… right.
The Koch boys don’t consider SupremeCorporation payola as ‘campaign expenses’…
