Establishment Republican Senators, which still includes most of them, have always been willing to give away taxpayer money to their special interests, just like the Democrats. And at this point, the big banks and other monopolists have the establishment of both parties in their pockets, so the majority of the "stimulus" that went to bail out big business, and indirectly, banks, is hardly surprising.
Neoliberals love government spending - as long as it goes into their pockets and not someone else's.
