In the House of Representatives, any member may introduce a bill by dropping it into a box, called a hopper. The Representative may have written the bill himself, his staff may have written it, or a constituent may have sent the bill to the Representative and it was placed in the hopper. In the Senate, a member may introduce a bill after being recognized by the presiding officer and announcing the bill’s introduction.

Short answer: Only the Constitution places restrictions on Congress. Long answer: Spending bills must originate in the house, while criminal law bills can originate in either the House or Senate. When Congress authorizes the expenditure of funds, via a spending bill, it uses a process almost identical to creating criminal law. Thus, even if it were a crime "...to use the FICA tax for anything other than what it was intended for", by Congress passing such a spending bill, it would nullify the earlier criminal law.
