Aren’t pols guilty of deceptive practices?

It was announced recently in the news that some company selling weight loss products was found to be misleading and deceptive because their weight loss product did not work.

Can someone please explain to me the difference between companies and individuals who deliberately use deceptive and misleading statements to sell products and services that don’t work as they said they would and the president and members of the Senate and Congress who deliberately use deceptive and misleading statements to sell laws that do not work as they were said they would.

Please tell me. What is the difference?
