Crushing deflation in asset values and the value of investment portfolios - pensions f.ex.:

I've been reading about this balance sheet recession idea lately.

Its implications are that the economy will nosedive as everyone tries to pay off their debts simultaneously.

That's why fiscal policy can stimulate the economy. It is not tied to the business cycle, so can provide a floor for demand, along with other businesses not tied to the business cycle.
