Honestly it feels like the best economic minds have been calling for a recession since we had that credit inversion (I think it was called) some years ago.  I don't necessarily doubt that their predictions are being made in good faith, but even so they're getting to be the boys and girls who cried wolf. 
Rain dances appear to work because the dancers keep dancing until the rain comes, maybe recession dancers are a thing, too? 
We will eventually have another recession, that seems to be just a part of the economic cycle, but I'm not convinced that anyone knows when it's going to happen.
