You can rephrase it how you like but ultimately it harms everyone.

We haven't had a recession in decades, but it gets pretty brutal.

Yes some rich people's yacht money gets deferred, but also young single parents lose their jobs and can't find somewhere to live.

The poorest among us always bear the brunt of an economic downturn.

That's my point. The effects on the poorest among us are never a factor whenever politicians or business leaders or the media talks about 'the economy'.
