'While there are many competing 優先s for 政府, with its 付加 support 対策 having now 中止するd, the 政府 does need to look into what it can 申し込む／申し出 lower income families to support them with energy 法案s.

'Whether through direct support, or 計画／陰謀s such as social 関税s, it's （疑いを）晴らす a long-称する，呼ぶ／期間／用語 解答 is needed to help struggling 世帯s.'
