but the debt ceiling, entitlement reform, deficit reduction, big issues that both parties have argued about for decades. >> to do that, both sides are going to step outside of the comfort zone and make sacrifices. >> this morning it doesn't look like that is going to happen. >> they have spent weeks on this. they have been in the room and said it's very important. they have both to gain by doing and they have other things. >> speaker says he wants a smaller 2 had trillion deal same one the vice president was discussing with a bipartisan group before the president got involved in the talks. what happened? boehner heard from chief party members they would reject any tax increases. on the president's desk, democrats would not go for the big deal either. >> democrats are not support go

cuts to social security or medicare. >> all parties agree that something has to happen, if the debt ceiling is not raised the government could defaulted on the obligations sending the economy into a tail spin. >> the white house tried to take the high road, not mechanics go boehner by name but the president is sticking with his plan for a balanced approach to raise the debt ceiling which means tax increases. with that august 2nd deadline to raise the debt limit looming it comes down to white house meeting where both sides seem far apart to raise taxes to offset raising the debt level. chief of staff offers some insight on what the president expects to happen. >> $14 trillion is what the president will try to go for. >> a number around $4 trillion is the number that will send --

make a serious dent on our deficit. it will send a statement to the world that the u.s. has gotten ahold of their fiscal problems and moving forward. it will give confidence to the american people, it will give confidence we can then move forward over the next couple of years to bring economic soundness. >> political fight comes at a time when president obama wants to convince congress to invest in infrastructure to create new american jobs. timothy geithner warned today many americans are going to face hard times for a long time in come as leaders in washington rest well tough economic choices. >> san francisco police officers union send a deal that allows officers to receive 5% pay rises o raises they had agreed to forgo in an earlier contract and avoid layoffs. in exchange, police officers agree to pay 3% more into their

pension fund and do it sooner than required to help the city balance its budget. that compromise was worked out by mayor ed lee and the union leaders but the pengtsz funding may ultimately decided by san francisco voters who are likely to face two competing ballot negotiates november. >> at a time when so many other departments are cutting back, the alameda county fire department is welcoming nearly two dozen new firefighters to its rank including some who were recently laid off from other departments. laura anthony reports from pleasanton. >> for most of these 23 firefighter graduates, mock emergencies are a chance to show off for family and friends, all they learned in 16 weeks of rigorous training, but there are a few here this common toleration represents a new beginning in a career that recently rejected them. moms who win is one of three

county firefighters were among 49 laid off. >> this is what i wanted to do. i really didn't have a second plan. >> classmate was also let go from the san jose department. >> i know there are many people out there that are is searching for jobs. i know how tough tough it is out there. >> alameda county is one of the few departments in the bay area that actually growing in these touch economic times. that growth is due in part to the department contracting with other cities. but in the past year their own fire service. >> we have had a lot of retirement over the past several years but we have been able to take on a number of jurisdictions and by reducing the overhead and ensuring those costs you are able to preserve the funding on the street. >> david also came from san

jose, he knows his new start is especially fortunate given nearly 2s in people applied for these 23 spots. many people have been laid off and i was lucky to get picked back up again. >> for the three firefighters from san jose, uniform may be different but the dream is the same and very much alive. >> in pleasanton. laura anthony, "abc 7 news." >> santa clara city manager says recommending the city deny a request by former 49er great joe montana to get the first shot of developing city owned property next to the stadium. eddie debartalo wants 18 months of exclusive rights. they want to build a hotel and retail project. but our media partner reports that city manager has sent a

got mist and drizzle from pointed reyes, gusty winds up to 30 miles an hour at the coast, but this should all peel back. in fact we'll see sunshine in santa cruz but feel the effects of that cooler air mass inland with temperatures, few 80s but more upper 70s and low 80s to the north bay. look at the widespread 70s. that is all throughout the south bay and much of the state, we're talking cooler than normal. down to san diego, where temperatures should be much warmer. this is going to take the state until the end of the week. 86 in sacramento. back home, no 80s here in the south bay. in fact we're looking at 76 in campbell. 73 in sunnyvale. nice afternoon with temperatures in the upper 70s, los gatos, but beyond that, we're in the mid-70s peninsula, 69 in millbrae and remember the breezy winds here, 62 downtown.
