I would love to see congress try to pass tax cuts with required spending cuts, and those who are all against Washington spending get NO money back from Washington for their district. It is only pork when it is someone else's district.

Earmarks account for less than 1 half of a single percent of the debt.  They are barely 1-2% of an entire years federal budget.

Are earmarks the only way that pork gets back to districts?  Districts bring back subsidies and also the rigging of regulations to favor a district.  Anyhow, I still stand by what i said about this.  Just see if you can get tax cuts passed with spending cuts to go along with them.  Go against AARP and say that tax rates on the top have to be lowered in exchange for less money put into Social Security and Medicaid, which are major ones that need to also be addressed.
