By Maxim Lott, Published July 30, 2013, FoxNews.com
The federal government is hiring what it calls a "Behavioral Insights Team" that will look for ways to subtly influence people's behavior, according to a document describing the program obtained by FoxNews.com. Critics warn there could be unintended consequences to such policies, while supporters say the team could make government and society more efficient.

Cass Sunstein is Obama's regulation czar, affectionately known to conservatives as the "nudge" czar.
