[0:02] Tonight, the president-elect says the
[0:04] economy is going from bad to worse as he
[0:07] goes to Capitol Hill to push for a
[0:09] massive new stimulus package, including
[0:11] hundreds of millions in tax cuts. I'm
[0:15] Katie Kurrick. Also tonight, the war in
[0:17] Gaza escalates.
[0:20] >> Civilian casualties grow, but Israel
[0:22] vows to keep up the attacks until Hamas
[0:25] stops firing missiles over the border.
[0:29] Prosecutors ask a judge to revoke
[0:31] Bernard Maidoff's bail after the accused
[0:33] swindler sends a million dollars worth
[0:35] of assets to his relatives.
[0:38] And a study says doctors are subjecting
[0:41] hundreds of thousands of American women
[0:43] to breast biopsies they don't really
[0:46] need.
[0:51] This is the CBS Evening News with Katie
[0:54] Kurig.
[0:57] >> And good evening everyone. Well, it's
[0:59] not the way it usually works. A
[1:00] president-elect trying to push
[1:02] legislation through Congress two weeks
[1:04] before he's even sworn in. But this is
[1:06] no ordinary time. And with the economy
[1:09] in crisis, Barack Obama went to Capitol
[1:11] Hill to meet with congressional leaders
[1:13] and urged them to approve a stimulus
[1:15] package he can sign soon after he takes
[1:18] office. The cost of the plan could run
[1:20] as high as $775
[1:22] billion. It would include 300 billion in
[1:25] tax cuts. All this aimed at creating or
[1:27] saving three million jobs. Chip Reed has
[1:30] more.
[1:32] >> He likes to say there's only one
[1:34] president at a time.
[1:36] >> Let's go around, man. But in the
[1:37] hallways and corner offices of Capitol
[1:40] Hill today, President Elect Obama left
[1:42] no doubt he's already taking charge.
[1:45] >> We've got to act quickly. We got to act
[1:48] boldly.
