首先,年轻家庭更需要政府的财政支持。(因果论证+举例论证)
Young parents一般来说还没有工作很久,所以收入和存款都不多,而raise children又非常费钱,比如奶粉、医疗、幼儿园等等,所以需要政府给一些financial support,这样不但可以保证社会有更多的健康幸福的家庭,还可以鼓励更多人生育,毕竟,资金上的后顾之忧是导致年轻人丁克的主要原因之一(not only倒装句)。
In contrast,老年人和失业者并不是the most important group to be supported by government. (因果论证+并列论证)
For one thing, 老年人退休的时候已经有了一定的deposit,而且他们还有退休金pension,所以他们可以养活自己。For another, 如果不是经济危机时期during economic crisis,多数情况下,人们失去工作要么是因为自己懒惰,要么是能力不够,无法达到公司的要求,所以他们应该努力去自己而不是wait for their nation to raise them.
