America Fast Forward Core Principles

  • http://americafastforward.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/s01.png

    America Fast Forward allows communities to issue America Fast Forward Job Bonds for local jobs initiatives with a tax credit in order to secure favorable financing terms so that as large a percentage of public resources are in fact directly supporting immediate private sector job creation at the local level.

    America Fast Forward will not harm the federal budget as the federal government will leverage locally-based and dedicated funding streams to guarantee that federal taxpayers are made whole for any credit that is provided.

    America Fast Forward provides loans and bonds in instances where there is real accountability in terms of a specifically identified initiative that will result in quality private sector jobs and economic investments.

    America Fast Forward empowers local communities by giving them the decision-making authority when it comes to identifying what jobs initiatives will best serve the priorities of their communities.
