"Whip Inflation Now" with Whiggy Tease.

“This is unbelievably stupid.”

That was the thought, allegedly, of Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan when presented with the idea by Gerald Ford’s administration to start a grassroots movement to combat inflation, led by little red WIN buttons. WIN of course stood for “Whip Inflation Now.”

President Ford launched the WIN campaign on October 9, 1974. Yes, it’s been 35 years. It’s been 35 years since Ford declared inflation as “public enemy number one.” The Communists must have been pleased by this.




It’s been 35 years since Ford asked Americans to send him a list of ten inflation-reducing ideas. This must have struck a nerve with a young David Letterman.

But most importantly, it’s been 35 years since Gerald Ford decided to combat a major economic problem with thousands of little red buttons. While once in great supply, most buttons are now lost, or are selling on e-Bay for hundreds of dollars.

That’s where Whiggy Tease comes in.




Yes, it’s our Whip Inflation Now knock off, er, replica buttons. They look exactly like the real thing.

Whiggy Tease Nation, we’re not back on the Gerald Ford kick. We’re still on it.


Impress your Republican friends by proudly displaying your WIN button at their next function. Nothing says “Old School Republican” like a WIN button. Impress your friends who went to Michigan as well.

Not a Republican? Not a Gerald Ford fan? Or perhaps you root for Ohio State or Notre Dame?
Well, you can do what skeptics did back in the day and wear your button upside down. It’s not just the International Distress Signal…




… as you can see, WIN upside down is NIM, which could stand for “Need Immediate Money.”
Or “No Immediate Miracles,” or perhaps “Nonstop Inflation Merry-Go-Round.”

Like we said, original WIN buttons are going for hundreds on e-Bay. So, by buying a replica from Whiggy Tease, you will in fact be, yes, whipping inflation.

Buy. Buy Now right here.
