Shouldn't the government guarantee that I will always have groceries, decent clothes and a place to live even if I choose not to work? After all what good is health care if I starve to death?

Yes, they will guarantee that you have groceries and clothing by making it mandatory for you to purchase them with your own money. If you fail to do so, then you will face fines and imprisonment.
2 :
The Libs would say yes to that.
3 :
It may be more of an issue of survival- food and other amenities are routinely thrown away. Health care for the middle class, however requires that one bankrupt themselves first before receiving public aid which is available to any homeless person- do you get it now? Or is this fine point still beyond understanding?
4 :
That's what Section 8 and Food Stamps are for. I'm waiting for the clothing allowances.
5 :
Are you suggesting we should let people starve to death? Have you no empathy?
6 :
they are called foodstamps, your taxes pay for them, feel better? neither do i
7 :
There are already government programs to cover those basic necessities. NEXT!
8 :
They do not provide a quality of life, they provide only enough to keep you alive. Affordable clothing available under the government option, is not quality enough to land a decent paying job to work your way out of poverty. Get in a bread line.
9 :
our entire lives are soon to be entitlements. we simply turn all our income over to the government and they make our lives better. i'm tingling with excitement...or is that excrement. the real answer is that the government shouldn't guarantee anything personal...it's up to the individual to get those things. other than roads, schools, security, etc..., the gov't needs to let the people dictate their own lives.
10 :
No. But what's wrong with hoping that the country will be rich enough one day to offer those things as rights? It seems that for you the matter is not one of affordability but of jealousy. You are so afraid that some Black or Hispanic (illegal?) will get free housing one day that you would rather not even think about it.
11 :
Yes those are rights too and indeed all people should have access to essential resources which cannot happen under a global profit system
12 :
Food is just about a right what with the WIC program, food stamps and other social programs. Clothing can be gotten cheap from the Salvation Army stores or Good Will. There are government funded homeless shelters in many large cities where homelessness is common. So yeah...

Our politicians are so out of touch with the reality of life that their decision making capabilities have completely disappeared. The decisions our government is making have nothing to do with the betterment of the American taxpayer and everything to do with government control, power grabbing by certain individuals and the intent to destroy America and our economy. It is clear, Obama does not like the Constitution - he thinks it’s a document of “negative liberties†telling the government only what it can’t do rather than spelling out what the government “should†do for you. So is it any surprise that this man has the policies, philosophies and friends that he does. o_O
