“It’s beyond what you can think of as bankruptcy,” says documentary filmmaker Ray Griggs of the current state of U.S. debt. “In our world, you go bankrupt. In the government world, they just keep writing checks.”
In his new documentary, I Want Your Money , which opens nationwide in more than 400 theaters on October 15, Griggs examines the fiscal crisis the U.S. faces today by comparing two iconic presidents–Barack Obama and Ronald Reagan–and their views on the proper role of government.
Griggs talked with Reason.tv’s Ted Balaker about our nation’s mounting debt, his controversial iPhone app, Bobble Rep , and the difficulties he faced making a conservative documentary in Hollywood.
Run time approximately 7:30 minutes.
Interview by Ted Balaker. Shot by Alex Manning, Paul Detrick, and Zach Weissmueller. Edited by Weissmueller.
