Yes, the federal government could bail out state and local governments (and indeed that’s some of what the Heroes Act does – passed by the House in May).

But the GOP Senate intransigently refuses to act or even negotiate, and so state/local governments are getting crushed.

Well good? The federal government has no obligation to bail out the states

That's a political decision and the gop has decided to let the states that need bailouts diy it.

I don't think it's wise, but it sure is within gop policy aims
