We could go on a long time just like we are currently.

Yeah, the trend recently seems to be having rates actually go back down.

I think Japan has had near zero interest rates since about 1992. Maybe there is something in economics that once you set the short term rates to zero, they tend to stay there? I don't know, but there's little data out in the past few years that say short term rates should be a more normal 2-3%. They might sit around zero for the rest of our lifetimes......
