_The Economist_ has had several articles on countries that have experimented (temporarily) with negative interest rates and concluded those experiments didn't have much of an effect on those countries' respective economies. Whatever your view of the Fed is they are generally smart and well-read people who have probably also read those articles or the research papers backing them, so I think it's unlikely that interest rates will ever go negative.
