am,

A recession is negative gdp growth for two consecutive quarters.

Interest rates go down in a recession because the economy is in the toilet and we lower rates to stimulate activity. Raising rates would suppress it. Money supply is increased.

What you described is how to cause a recession. That is what has been happening, and I think we are in the first quarter of one right now.
