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.

The economic Right used to be for small government until they discovered that they could graft profitably from Big Government and use the power of government to impose the will of elites upon everyone else. Mussolini may have been a bit ahead of the time when he said that the twentieth century would be the era of Big Government. 

As Friedrich Hayek said of socialism, the worst thing that any socialist can face is the 'wrong' sort of socialism. We can say much the same of an activist government that has a role in managing the economy.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist  but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
