That assumes a uniform recession across all industries, and a uniform recycling of all personal income as consumption (or investment). In addition, in a country suffering from trade deficits, there could be import taxes; though those could be problematic for other reasons.

BTW, I forgot to write: beyond more debt, savings and taxes; debt restructuring and temporary capital controls might also work in a mild recession. (And in a heavy one, there is default.)
