Many states are facing insolvency, because expected revenue has declined by as much as 30% [1]. States have "rainy day funds" to cover unforeseen events, but most have between 5-10% of general fund expenditures set aside [2].

States cannot create new money and they cannot declare bankruptcy. Most states also have balanced budget requirements [3].

If you want government support, the federal government is the only entity uniformly capable of creating money and running deficits.
