So, this means that we are the guarantors of the federal debt and must be the ones to pay it, whether we explicitly contracted it or not?

yep, means that citizens pay the debt of the state

Then, it would also mean there is no such thing as a default because there are those who pay the debt. In other words, the US government has never really defaulted on debts because we are paying them off, right?

until they can tax, there's no debt ceiling

It looks to me like they can tax until everyone is bled as dry as a stone. The congressional mavins are trying to get even unrealized gains taxes on the books! That is taxing imaginary gains without deducting imaginary losses, what more can we ask of the crooks in the congress?

Ohhhh…… I always disliked that game, “bingo”. I never had “bleed them dry” on any of my bingo card squares! I always lost. :) There must be some way to deny your part in the deal. After all, their is no contract for any of it and, perhaps, no consent.
