As long as inflation is artificially maintained by rising gas prices. It might last for very long. We would actually need a recession for interest rates to drop.

Bernanke has indicated 60-40 one more rate increase. After that, get out the crystal ball. Interest rates are reflective of world conditions, and who knows what will happen?

As long as the government keeps spending quite a bit more than it takes in (thanks to tax cuts for rich Bush contributirs, expensive Iraq wars, etc.). If they need more money than they have, then they have to borrow. If you have to borrow lots of money, you have to pay more interest.
