Remember that Interest rates are a function of economic growth and future inflation expectations (higher growth = higher rates...all else remaining equal).  Hoping for lower rates is kind of like hoping for reduced growth and low inflation - I'm all in but it seems doubtful. But, if low rates come about naturally vs via QE, it will not result in what I think you might be hoping for...more bubble market mania. If it happens naturally, the bubbles will pop. We've been conditioned by 2 decades of monetary and now fiscal madness to want lower rates thinking they will boost the markets into a frenzy. That's not how it works...unless the rates are driven lower unnaturally by central banks buying their own debt to hold interest rates low.  Will the rates go lower BECAUSE the Fed is likely to throw in the towel, ignore inflation and go back to QE to avoid the pain of popping bubbles? Probably, yes. Then you'll get a continuation of the bubble mania you crave...but it's not because of rates that went lower naturally - quite the opposite.
