The purpose of President Ford's "Whip Inflation Now" campaign was to encourage Americans to take action against the rising inflation rates during the 1970s. The campaign focused on reducing government spending, increasing savings, and improving economic productivity in order to combat inflation. The goal was to create a sense of national unity and mobilize individuals and businesses to work together to stabilize the economy. Ford hoped that by addressing inflation, he could restore confidence in the economy and promote long-term economic stability.
