No, that is not true. A sponsor under I-864 doesn't become responsible for all debts.

No. The I-864 form is a contract that you enter into agreeing that you will provide financial support for the immigrant for 10 years or 40 quarter work hours. This guarantees that the immigrant will not become a public charge (dependent on the government for financial support).
