Executives of private companies go to jail for this sort of thing.
Until the mid 1980s, it was still a popular myth that Social Security was a fund where they kept an account of all the money you paid in. Took a long time for the word to get out on that one.

You can twist it, turn it, shake it or plain old lie about it, but the fact is that I paid into it for 47 years. Why should I have to suffer because LBJ decided to tap into it and squander billions (trillions?) for his Vietnam War and his so-called War on Poverty.
How about this? How about all that money that went to the poverty people start paying us back now that their on their feet? They are on their feet now, right? Did we lose that war, too?
