The problem is partially legal. Many of these objects have complex ownership. The US government should have some hesitation about simply starting putting a price on the destruction of things that might be owned by particular companies or countries. I think what the government should do is invest in better tracking primarily. Then make a stronger law requiring sat makers to have a plan to remove debris also on failure. Then they can clean up their own old junk and put a price on that.
