It is unclear how Boortz arrives at the conclusion that someone would find the phrase “You can change” to be more traumatic than the phrase “You cannot change.”

Mr. Adams hasn't read much existentialist drivel, has he? It's practically a cornerstone of the ism that freedom entails horrid anxiety. Moreover there are plenty of people in this world who are averse to anxiety and that other thing freedom entails (responsibility), to such a degree that they will consistently risk their freedom for a cot and a regular feeding.

I have known people who can't endure the sight of a one-page menu.

Reliance upon government to solve social problems is never successful. Typically it results in some form of socialism in which those in authority declare a slave and a master class division. This works for the masters and for those slaves who wish to be slaves. It does not work for those who choose a third alternative. They are enemies of the state and usually get imprisoned or killed.
Before the advent of social legislation communities took care of their needy. Graphic pictures of horrid poverty under this regimen ignore the horrid poverty under government programs to alleviate poverty.
