Art. VI only says that the US under the Constitution chose to assume the debts of the US under the AoC.
What seems closer to what you want is the first part of Section 4 of the 14th Amendment: βThe validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned.β
(Which still, strictly, doesn't say the debt will be paid, only that it's validity will not be questioned.)
