So, ‘nudge’ is a new word for ‘mind control’? These ‘nudges’ could become political very quickly.

"Behavioral Insights Team" this administration now has a brainwashing team for those working for the government?? Obozo hussein's fundamental transformation of the USA sadly continues.

I don’t know why they need one. They already shove crap down your throat anyway, whether we want it or not.

Our public schools are to blame, IMHO. We should have been paying closer attention to what our children were being taught.
I’m grateful that most of my grandchildren are in good private schools.

Resembles Russian KGB tactics.
Recommended reading ... two (1974 and 1985) "KGB" books by John Barron, a former US naval intelligence officer.
The 1974 edition led to his access to "many ordinarily inaccessible sources."

We are living it and the ones who are awake are helpless to prevent what is happening. And no amount of alcohol will make it go away, I'm finding.

This concept is laid out by Cass R. Sunstein. See the review of his book in the New York Review of Books:
"It’s For Your Own Good! Against Autonomy: Justifying Coercive Paternalism by Sarah Conly"
Warning; it will make your blood boil.

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. Are they trying to breed the Master Race, or create the New Soviet Man?
