Anyone else here remember Gerald Ford's "WIN" buttons? [View all]

"Whip Inflation Now?"

Turned out to be an empty slogan, that made money for the makers of "WIN" merchandise, that's all.

Likewise the slogan "Make America Great Again."

Makes money for the hat and t-shirt makers, but is just an empty slogan.
