Actually I think it was somewhat supported by what you linked to:
Republicans and conservative Democrats were upset that the ratio of cuts to taxes was much less than the 2-to-1 ratio that Panetta had advocated during his confirmation hearings. Though the deficit-reduction plan made notable spending cuts, its heavy reliance on tax increases displays the difficulties the Clinton economic team had coming up with acceptable spending cuts.
But what I cited ironically enough does contradict what I said. Any my cite being a primary source, I believe is the stronter cite.
So I stand corrected.
