106. He did come out and say no cuts.
As I said in the State of the Union, both parties should work together now to strengthen Social Security for future generations. But we must do it without putting at risk current retirees, the most vulnerable, or people with disabilities; without slashing benefits for future generations; and without subjecting Americans’ guaranteed retirement income to the whims of the stock market.


He's talking about making changes, but nowhere does he say cuts. In fact, he specifically says "without slashing benefits."

There are a lot of changes that could be made to strengthen SS without cuts. He could raise the cap on taxable earnings, for instance.
