Simple Supply and Demand.

"As Japanese products became less competitive overseas, the low consumption rate began to bear on the economy, causing a deflationary spiral."
Look at the trillions WIPED out of our market!!! That means everyone has a LOT LESS $ TO SPEND so those of us who WANT $ are going to have to do MORE for it.
The 700 billion $ bailout is partly GREED because we know we can print that $ and inflate away gains made by people holding USD.
Bottom line is I don't know many people making MORE $ so therefore demand for STUFF is going to be less, driving down the prices for domestic goods and services, but countries that aren't closely tied to our economy (?) we could see prices of that go up.
