I don't see that happening.  The risk with lowering interest rates is that inflation could rise to the point where your money won't be worth anything.  In fact, Ben Bernancke is on record as saying that rising inflation is the biggest threat now facing the US economy.  With oil prices at an all-time high and commodities at near-record levels, the Federal Reserve (which is about as "federal" as Federal Express) is going to have a difficult balancing act between keeping a lid on inflation and staving off a recession.
