Makin, [Debt and Taxes: How America
Got into Its Budget Mess and What to Do About It,] published by

book details the history, economics and political science of taxes
and the national debt. He pointed out that there is much less
corruption in the federal government now than in the previous 200
years. However, the public perceives that there is more corruption
because of improved communications of all kinds. He suggests that
the federal government must somehow gain the trust of U.S. citizens.
Only then will taxpayers accept the “pain” of decreasing the national
debt.
