Mr Blessing,

OK, I checked that site, didn’t find anything about TALF, Waterfall TALF or Charles and / or David Koch on the front page.
So I ran some searches there – again, the closest I got to any of those was an article about a Bill Koch joining the National Sailing Center and Hall of Fame – not even close to the subject at hand here.
Waterfall was created in 2005. Morgan Stanley investement bankers found a loophole and created TALF at the financial collapse in 2008. The investment thieves didn’t feel like the got enough money so they gouged a little more.
I’m not disputing that. As a libertarian, I’d shut down any such programs on the public side of that (counting the Federal Reserve as “public” here!), where some of the Establishment “conservatives” (Wilson, Gingrich, Romney, Giuliani) would celebrate and expand that program, saying “Look at the jobs it creates!”
What I am questioning is how TALF and / or Waterfall TALF are connected to the Koch brothers, as insinuated by the title of this blog posting. I ran several searches, both on Google and the site you provided above, and could find no evidence of any such connection.
Comment by Sue Keller 6 hours ago – I didn’t say TALF had anything to do with Koch.
Not directly, but there’s the title of this posting – <p>Mr Wiz,</p> <p> I am shocked a man of you worldly knowledge knew nothing of the Koch Brothers. – that’s copied from above and made browser-readable.
The insinuation is plainly there. Just for grins and giggles, I’ve got a screenshot of the original posting.
Paste correctly evidently..

Maybe she found this.”.so????
That’s still not an explicit connection to Charles and David Koch.
From what I can tell, “Koch” is a somewhat common name amongst those who can trace their ancestry back to Germany, and since there are plenty of Americans who fit that bill . . .
Mike Blessing pointed something out to me that I think I had better address…there was a time when I was a dues paying registered Libertarian. But after 9/11 and some comments I made about muslims, based on the fact that the plane that hit the Pentagon hit almost dead center of where my son David’s office used to be. Joe Knight, then head of the Libertarian Party invited me to leave because he decided I was a racist. Isn’t it interesting that time has proven me to be right…
Joe’s support for the aborted campaign of Russell Means for governor at the time certainly didn’t help, either.
Chris Christie is probably going to stay on as Governor of New Jersey. Let’s face it – Obama has the advantage of name recognition and incumbency, and is looking to raise about a billion in campaign cash for the 2012 race.
But “Ragnar,” why aren’t you cheerleading for Romney? After all, he’s got credentials from the business world and from being Governor of Massachusetts. He’s a trend-setter on the health care issue, among other things. He’s as qualified to be President as Heather Wilson is to be New Mexico’s next Senator – what’s holding you back?
