I must admit I'm not an American but I can tell you prices are going up in the UK. You can see it with fuel and food prices.
Pretty much every American I've heard says it is happening in the US too, so don't get too excited over your dollars.
Looking at the USDX it seems the other FIAT currencies should experience roughly the same rate of debasing.
Consumer prices seem high to me more frequently and for a wider range of products lately, so I think shit is finally trickling down. I expect this to increase.
Is honey a good indicator? For some unknown reason I think that is the case.
Honey is an interesting case, but not for reasons of deflation. Bees are dying all over the world (particularly where GMOs are grown), so using this as an indicator for macroeconomics might not be the best case. Using it as an indicator for much larger shit going down around the world, sure.
Point taken.
I still like that swedish guy who is backing a local currency with honey: http://blogs.sweden.se/sustainability/2011/10/06/honey-is-the-new-money-in-lund/
