This is a surprising informative article giving more insight into the last time in history that we've had interest rates this low.  The article starts on PDF page 13.

Very interesting, I have not read that perspective yet but it proves the government can keep rates down. With that said, stocks need to correct 50% to restore decent values which is what the government should have let happen and we may be recovered by now.  Instead they have delayed it.

I agree but I think they will continue to delay it for as long as it benefits them. That is a long ways away imo.
