If lower interest rates can accelerate the economy, it can create excess demand
driving prices up. So, it is possible to turn things around. I'm not sure Japan is a
great example of the failure of low interest rates since its economy and market
structure is so screwed up. <<

Japan these days is an excellent example of a deflation process in action, particularly its psychological reactions to it.

If you think the US economy is in a deflationary scenario, the conventional application of lower interest rates is just a symptom, not a remedy, of deflation in action.

Maybe a closer look at Japan's economy
will make this clearer for you,
