I promise the US government , if this flaming satellite lands on me Im going to sue you to the tune of billions.

I don't think your threat is going to result in a change in the trajectory of the satellite; according to the article, the US Government does not currently have control over the satellite. In any case, I seriously doubt you will be hit by the flaming remnants of the satellite, but if you are, you will need some extremely good luck to get your lawsuit off the ground. First, you have to survive the impact of the flamming satellite as it lands on you. And then, suing the US Government is very difficult, and it may, in fact, be impossible.

Why put something up there if you can't control it.

I'm sure their intention was not to put the satellite up there uncontrolled; however, things don't always go the way you expect them to.
