In context he is literally talking about "freezing" social security. Which with inflation is an effective cut. And that's just one of many videos!

Good lord why are you against people on like, every issue.
Because he's not making the point that you or Bragman are claiming he's making!

c-span's transcript function is garbage and won't let me copy/paste, but here's the full speech:

If you search the transcript, you can see that his argument is that IF the Senate is to consider freezing spending through a Balanced Budget Amendment, they need to be honest with Americans that that will involve freezing social security and medicare as well, because that's where most of the government spending is (i.e. you can't balance the budget by cutting a bunch of little programs your don't like).
