On Thursday, Treasury Secretary Jack Lew testified before the Senate, where Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said, "The debt-ceiling deniers try to claim that default won’t be a big deal." He told Mr. Lew, "Well, the debt-ceiling deniers need a dose of debt-ceiling reality and you've given them that today."
Later in the hearing, Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) said, "We hear from the debt-limit deniers that they are sure that even if we get there nothing will happen since we can pay China and Wall Street first."
