It’s happened again, folks. Another career criminal just cashed in, big time, thanks to our government’s reckless spending spree during the pandemic. This time, Ian Jackson of Atlanta managed to snag over $3 million in COVID “relief” cash with a string of fake loans. He’s not just any scammer, either—Jackson’s a two-time convicted felon who saw an opportunity when Washington threw open the vaults. And he isn’t alone. The floodgates opened and the sharks swam right in.
Federal prosecutors finally caught up with Jackson. He’s now sentenced to over ten years in prison. But let’s be honest—how many others like him got away? Our so-called leaders handed out hundreds of billions with barely a second look. Liberals in D.C. wanted to look “compassionate.” What did we get instead? Crooks running wild and hard-working Americans left to pick up the tab.
Just imagine: While small business owners struggled, big city scammers filled out paperwork, made up employees, and laughed all the way to the bank. The pandemic was supposed to be about helping Main Street. In reality, it was Christmas morning for hustlers and fraudsters. Call it what you want—liberal “emergency relief” or “stimulus.” The real result? Waste, fraud, abuse, and the destruction of trust for good Americans.
And where was the outrage from globalist elites and the left-wing media? Nowhere to be seen. Instead, they cheer for every bloated bill and pretend it’s “for the people.” Here’s the truth: Every dollar stolen by crooks like Jackson is a dollar taken from honest families, taxpayers, and small businesses. The left won’t say it, but their failures opened the door.
Maybe next time, the bureaucrats in power should remember—if you make it easy for criminals, you get more crime. Or is that too much common sense for our ruling class?
