To the extent that the government controls interest rates, they need them to be very low. Otherwise the Dollar will not continue to decline in value.

If interest rates rise, the US Dollar will stop falling and American exports will continue to stagnate - resulting in economic stagnation.

If the government, with the help of other governments, cannot prevent a rise in interest rates then deflation will reassert itself.
