In terms of economic subsidies and the greatest government give-a-way program in world history the Republicans are tops- transcontinental railroad and the Homestead Act.  Interventionist Republicans didn't start with Hoover.  However, things like railroads and homesteading served the purpose of promoting a powerful nation that could compete with the rest of the world so they were legitimate activities for the federal government despite what small-government types believe.
