It's truly sad that there are so many people like you who have zero concept of what falls under the purview of federal government and what falls under the purview of state government.
What you want is an extremely strong federal government - the kind that creates dictatorships. Fortunately, people much smarter than you or I recognized that one doesn't want too strong a federal government so quite a bit of the decision making that you are wailing about is the responsibility of each state governor.
