Are we headed for a serious recession here in the US?

You will not get an approved answer to this question that says either way, because nobody knows. We can only explain recessions with the benefit of hindsight. If someone could predict the business cycle with any level of accuracy, they could become exceedingly wealthy. 

Plenty of people make predictions each year, and most of them are proven wrong. The ones that get it correct are either lucky, or they predict recession so often that they will inevitably be correct, but not for the right reasons.
