There is virtually no arm of the federal government left that exists in as extensive a form as with presidents like Obama or even Reagan with all the recent cuts. So I'm not sure where all this red tape symptomatic of bureaucracy is that you claim is getting in the way of a response by the states. At this point, I'd wager states are increasingly wondering what the point of "AMERICA" is as an idea when they have to do all the heavy lifting.
If anything this crisis may start to beg the question about whether this country and its people would be better off dividing into 3-4 separate countries. The federal government is corrupt, ineffective, and lacking in any care for the individual states. I'm just not sure what the upside is of these 50 states (as well as territories) being under the same umbrella when that umbrella is becoming more frequently a threat to the safety of the states than any foreign power.
