I Wonder How Many Republicans Smashed By Hurricanes Still Believe In Small Govt.

2. All of them

Big government is an absolute evil, of course, and they want to shrink it down until it's small enough to drown in Grover Norquist's flopsweat, but they might as well use it while it's here, right?

When other people benefit from government services, those people are leeches (unless they're corporations getting billion-dollar handouts; then they're brilliant business models). But when these Republicans themselves suckle at the gubmint teat, it's because they're good, hard-working Americans who've been overlooked by that same gubmit shelling out fat welfare checks to all the DACA immigrants.

It's the classic scenario writ small: capitalism can only function because it knows that socialism is always there to bail it out. These Republican hipposhits are happy to take the same handout that they would deny to other people during times of hardship.
