1% interest rates

OK, I understand there's a 'credit crisis' going on, but I was absolutely astounded to see that interest rates in the US are down to 1% and predicted to go lower and may in fact go into the negative.

Can someone please tell me how that works, and why can't people pay these mortgages.

I thought you were all lucky with only 4% interest.
