Use the action to set the fee to the government, set a salary floor, and hold like 50% of the fee money in escrow that gets refunded back to the company after 5 years provided they retained the employee and tax records indicate the employee was paid at least at the floor level (something like 1.5x the median salary for the that position in that area).

Because of the Triffin dilemma: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triffin_dilemma

Trade deficits in isolation aren't good or bad but because the US has the world reserve currency it must supply it's currency to the world.

This basically forces it to have a trade deficit with everyone which over time can hollow out manufacturing sectors. Making the whole economy vulnerable to shocks and ultimately causing it to fail.

It's similar to "Dutch disease," where external demand overvalues the currency and harms tradable sectors.

It's not sustainable without careful policy management, and attempts to weaken the currency via tariffs, devaluation, or some other mechanism.
