What you fail to grasp is that Japan fell into deflation BECAUSE they have a high savings rate and are a major creditor nation.

It's likely that the U.S. will increase it's savings rate in the future from zero today. I would argue that it's the rate of change in the savings rate that is more relevant to deflationary/inflationary pressure than the constant rate. In other words a change in the savings rate from from zero to 10% over a given time period is more deflationary than a constant 20%.
