and considering how some of those dark money PACs funnel so little to candidates, it's going to cost them more every single year to buy politicians.

It's not that the politicians are getting any more expensive to buy, they're still cheap. It's that there are a lot of grabbing hands between a plutocrat's check and a disbursement to a crook running for office.

I love seeing the Koch boys spend $290 million (that they admit to) on a midterm election. Eventually even their well will run dry.
