State doctors and nurses are hardly ‘bureaucrats'
Brian Balfour's piece, "The N.C. benefits time bomb" (Dec. 2) is off base in reference to his statement regarding whether North Carolina families should support "hundreds of thousands of retired state bureaucrats."
I would not consider the many nurses and doctors who work at UNC Hospitals and who care for our state's sick and injured and the teachers who educate our children "bureaucrats." I am a nurse, not a bureaucrat.
While I don't dispute the math, I suggest he watch his language.

Why support state citizens employed for over 20 years who have been promised retirement benefits their entire career when we can spend that money providing public education and college and free healthcare to illegal immigrants.
Give me a break!
