again today after a rare sunday night meeting. the two sides have yet to agree on the size of a deal or what it will entail. joel brown is in washington with more. good morning. >> good morning to you. sunday night's session at the white house lasted about 75 minutes and we're told president obama used much of that time remaking his case for a bigger deal on the debt limit. this morning, though, still no agreement, except to keep talking. president obama plans to sit down with congressional leaders today and every day until a debt deal gets done. the sides met in a rare sunday night session but reportedly made very little progress, if any. the president once lawmakers to accept a $4 trillion deficit reduction plan but republicans rejecting all tax hikes associated with it, instead pushing for smaller $2 trillion measure. >> a big package would require big tax increases in the middle of an economic situation that's extraordinarily difficult with 9.2% unemployment. we think it's a terrible idea.

it's a job killer. >> reporter: even some democrats are raising concerns about the president's plan especially cuts to medicare and other social services. >> we said we're not going to end to medicare guarantee. >> reporter: president obama scheduled a news conference this morning before the news conference this morning. >> the president made it clear he's willing to do very difficult things for him, for his party but the republicans have to do some things, too. >> reporter: if a deal to raise the debt ceiling is not approved by august 2nd, the treasury department says the government will run out of money to pay its bills and the new head of the international monetary fund warns the impact could be felt worldwide. >> interest hikes, stock markets taking a huge hit and real nasty consequences. >> reporter: as negotiations drag on, credit agencies are threatening to downgrade america's perfect credit rating.

despite the approaching deadline and dooms day predictions, investors do not seem worried yet that congress will actually let the u.s. default on its loans. terrell, interest rates on u.s. debt remain near historic lows. >> joel brown in washington for us this morning, thank you so much. if a deal isn't reached in time the government will no longer be able to borrow money. that means painful decisions about who gets paid and who doesn't. a recent report from the bipartisan policy center says in august the government has to make $306 billion but it only takes $172 billion. that's enough to pay interest on the debt, social security, medicare and medicaid, also defense contractors and unemployment benefits, but there would be no money left for active duty military personnel, all kinds of federal workers, and a slew of other programs. president obama will hold a press conference today on the stalled debt talks. see it right here, 11:00 a.m. eastern on cbs.
