Answer to Question 1

With the deflation, the real interest rate exceeded the nominal interest rate. Lenders were making their decisions based on the higher real interest rate, not the very low nominal interest rate.

Answer to Question 2

Aggregate expenditure represents the total spending in the economy. Consumption spending is just one component of aggregate expenditure. The other components of aggregate expenditure are: planned investment, government purchases, and net exports.
