I think it's because the game cheats to not let you have big income.

Wait a bit, after a while income will stabilize at about the same as before cancelling recycling.

Huh. So it's not just me. I noticed I would get to 14 million or so in the bank without barely trying, but then I'd have to really fiddle with stuff to keep the budget balanced.

Of course, usually when I spend money it's on something that will return taxes, which is why I figured that I kept making enough money to stay afloat.

I've definitely been in spots where I was burning my slush pile for a while, but that was mostly after things like death waves.
