Recession...a break from carrying about money

I don't think anyone understands that this recession we are going through is actually a good thing.  It helps drive down prices and keep companies in check.  The only thing that my generation doesn't understand is that this is a cycle that happens every 10-15 years, we were just too young to remember it when it happened before.  All we remember is the nice reasonable prices for things that happened as a result of the recession.

Things are cheaper as a result of recessions

The quality of products remains the same or sometimes gets better

The markets usually go down but the stronger small companies thrive and expand due to the recession...agree or disagree?
