How should the government go about ensuring that all US citizens have those things? There are over 300,000,000 people in those country. Even community college tuitions would be astronomical...
Like I said, it's easy for a person to say that something should be done when that person has absolutely no intention of suggesting how it should be done...

The govt would do it by raising taxes on the rich, and then forcing everyone to a minimum standard of these things. The rich would not be allowed to use private healthcare, or gourmet food, or big houses, or ivy league education. Everyone would be reduced to a common denominator. Then there would be no incentive to succeed, and so wed end up a third world country. Yay.
