That’s the whole reason for the Fed’s quantitative easing; injecting trillions of dollars into the economy and intentionally lowering interest rates in hopes of stimulating the economy.

They ended QE in October 2014.

What would/should rates be?

Preferably somewhere in the general range of historical norms, and through a gradual process which may take a while depending on the underlying strength of the economy.
