in the economy, and perhaps recession?

The current monetary policy is toward lower inflation and a moderate slowdown.
However, price shocks in goods that we import (i.e. oil) can cause both concurrently in the SHORT TERM (due to sticky prices)

No. That is not to say that we won't have inflation but with the Feds not raising rates this past time it seems they expect less pressure on prices.
The current fiscal policy is putting money back into the pockets of consumers (tax breaks) and many states are running corporate welfare programs (tax credits), so it seems unlikely that business is going to lose out any time soon.

Either one or the other.
