He's not lying, he supported Clinton's plan. He acknowledged that to balance the budget, cuts would have to be made. He is a fiscal conservative who believes in balancing budgets. (Apparently Kerry agrees with him, as he voted for the Bill, which reduced Medicare spending.)

"All 19 Democratic governors endorsed his (Clinton) plan, which he says would eliminate the deficit in 10 years." -USA TODAY, 6/23/95

Governor Dean actually helped lead the attack against the Republicans' Contract with America.

"Dean led the attack today, using figures gleaned from the analysis during his testimony before the House Ways and Means Committee's hearing on the contract. Later, Mr. Dean joined Mr. Gephardt and the Senate Democratic leader, Tom Daschle, at a news conference to press the issue." - New York Times, 1/13/95

Gep and Kerry need to find a better attack issue.
