What about education, plumbing. clothes, electricity, cars? Are they rights or privileges? Which goods & services are rights & which are privileges?

This is going to take some time to sort out. It is a very interesting read, and I will get back to your post shortly.
Thanks for the topic.

Hell of an American that senator. If we had listened to him all these useless government dependence would have starved to death by now.

There is the difference in an American and a Socialist Democrat.

Americans believe citizens are entitled to the opportunity to earn their food, healthcare and cell phones.

Socialist Democrats believe citizens are entitled to the fruit of other people's hard work to buy food, healthcare, and Obamaphones.

That's why Socialist Democrats are so angered at Trump lowering the unemployment of Black and Hispanic Americans to historic lows. Because once a person transitions from TaxGetter to TaxPayer, they are much more likely to vote against Socialism.

I read your link. I have taken the liberty of posting a comment on that link by someone calling themselves mike the organist. I couldn't have said it better.

"So we see two things ... (1) Unconstitutional laws are nothing new, with the federal government taking powers not granted to it, and (2) the Senator does not know how to get across what he is trying to say.
So let me say it for him. Rights are contained within the individual and do not require anyone else to supply them. If it's benefits you want, SAY SO and use the correct term, then amend the laws that govern the government so that such a power is formally granted. Rights are one's ability to use one's own natural faculties in any manner one wishes as long as the natural rights of others are not infringed thereby. Benefits are the supplying by one person, or by the whole of the population via central command and control, of the needs of a person who can't, or won't do for himself. I get it that you want benefits. Grant the power, by means of the mechanism provided in the Constitution. and you can have them.
We have been saying for a long, long, time, that if people have needs, the federal government can assume power to take care of those needs. Unfortunately, this means it can assume power to do bad things as well, because the people are unwilling to check it through their representatives because they want the benefits more than they fear the assumption of power.
(edited)
One other thing. The right to life is the right to live out one's time here on this earth as long as his own body will allow. It does NOT include a claim on others to provide sustenance. If it's benefits you want, say so. Please do not think there's a claim on others to provide rights.
In order to properly understand rights, it's needful to understand the difference between natural rights and benefits (especially benefits whose purveyors call them rights). Natural rights come from natural law that was put on this Creation by a Creator. Those rights exist even if they're suppressed. Benefits come from people holding power or who run businesses. They only exist as long as the people who say they exist say they do."

I would add to this that with rights come responsibilities. Should you think that you are being denied a right, you have the responsibility to take action to correct the situation, by peacefully petitioning the government for redress of grievances.

Bingo!
Rights are contained in the amendments to the constitution aka known as the Bill of Rights. They don't take anything from others.
Your right to freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of assembly, your right to bear arms, to be free from unreasonable searches in your home or property, your right against self incrimination, to be free from cruel and unusual punishment, etc., etc. take nothing from anyone else. Hence they are properly called inalienable rights. Our constitution recognizes that they are not dispensed by the government but come from God.
Benefits such as food and housing most assuredly take from others as food and housing come only at a cost to those who provide the food and the housing.
If someone else, ie., the taxpayer, must provide it, it's not a right but a benefit.

It is generally acknowledged that hunger is both a violation of human dignity and an obstacle to social, political and economic progress...We say right to food yet there is no legislation requiring it..providing food as needed for others is a humanitarin effort, which I do support ...

Healthcare is not a right or even a privilege it had been “mandated” by socialistic demand of the government.. It is a choice and if you chose not to have it then you suffer your own consequence.. Mandated because of the Exorbitant costs to society or so it is said..
Exhorbant costs come from a government using the system in its present “broken capacity” to wreck havoc in fraud and money laundering operations for politicians and Insurance companies..Fix that and all could afford the choice to have insurance..
