Bush budget deficit surpluses disputed by CBO forecast
The Congressional Budget Office projects small surpluses through 2003 and a long-run shift to deficits under Bush spending and tax plans. It predicts the 2002 deficit at 90 billion and 2003 at 6 billion, with a disputed long-term surplus of 681 billion from 2003 to 2012, while the White House cites a trillion-dollar ten-year surplus. Democratic critics warn that diverting Social Security funds could undermine elderly pension programs and call for spending restraint and tax-policy changes.

Hubble receives new heart in risky spacewalk
Two astronauts performed a complex spacewalk to replace Hubble’s central power unit. The operation required powering down the telescope for the first time in orbit and lasted over four hours, with Mission Control confirming a successful restart as systems rebooted. The repair, though hazardous, was deemed necessary to prevent further failure of the $2 billion observatory.
