How are republicans ever for 'small' government?

They spent so much and started so many wars, basically turned the economy as part of the government. They force people to follow their 'moral' value instead of giving people freedom to do what they want. They want to 'deregulate' but when things fail, they just want to squeeze more pennies out of the poor to bail out those super rich.

I am not saying democrats are any better though, that's why I consider myself a conservative anarchist.
