Talk:Whip Inflation Now

This sentence leaves me confused:

"The campaign began in earnest with the establishment by the 93rd Congress, of the National Commission on Inflation, which Ford closed with an address to the American people, asking them to send him a list of ten inflation-reducing ideas."

I searched the Thomas database, and while I found two Resolutions referring to the National Commission on Inflation introduced by Sen Roth in the the 93rd Congress, they were listed as referred to committee. The sentence says that "Ford closed with an address..." -> does this mean Ford spoke at the commission, or that he shut it down?

Is there any record of the top ten lists of inflation-reducing ideas? -- 23:58, 13 November 2006 68.166.188.141


 * The article should probably discuss how the "Whip Inflation Now" campaign demonstrated Ford's hopeless failure to understand even the basics of economics. He made no moves whatsoever to pressure the Federal Reserve to stop inflating the dollar, and treated inflation as if it were some kind of natural phenomenon that the people could overcome through wishful thinking.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.6.159.76 (talk) 02:50, 15 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Nixon had already tried wage and price controls, and they didn't work too well. "WIN" didn't do any good, but also didn't do any harm... AnonMoos (talk) 21:46, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

The "WIN" sweater
In brief clips of Ford family Christmases shown on the "Presidential Christmases" broadcast TV show a few weeks back, Ford seemed to be actually wearing the WIN sweater (File:"WIN" patterned sweater.JPG) or something very similar... AnonMoos (talk) 15:40, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

What happened to the campaign?
This article doesn't really say anything about the impact. It says a little about how some people responded, and it has a great gallery, but was there an impact assessment done? How much funding was put into it, and what happened? 20040302 (talk) 10:37, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
