Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Rylan Barton. President Trump says he's turning his attention to affordability now that the government shutdown is over.

As NPR's at Tamara Keith reports, polls show voters are concerned about the economy and cost of living.

A senior administration official not authorized to speak on the record tells NPR Trump will soon travel around the country with a message that while some things have improved, there's still more work to do to help people feeling economic strain. And that was part of Trump's messaging last night at the White House. My administration and our partners in Congress will continue our work to lower the cost of living,

restore public safety, grow our economy, and make America affordable again for all Americans.

Again, costs are way down.

Inflation has been persistent so far this year, which has voters in a foul mood about the economy.

year. Without them, costs are going up. For Amy Jackson of Butler, Missouri, her premium is going from under $300 a month to $1250.

She's not sure congressional lawmakers understand.

You know, for them, $1,000 is probably nothing. It's probably what they blow on dinner.

But for me, that's half of my wage. You know, I just can't swing that.
