No, we will be overextended to the tune of ~$4Trillion more

We are already extended for all of that. And yes if it happens sooner there is interest to be concerned about but also the amount before interest is lower. Its possible that one side or the other could be a greater amount but they are close to equal when interest is considered. Absent considerations of interest the government would save money under this plan so its hardly "$4trillion + interest), more like some single digit percentage of $4tril. one way or the other.
