I have to agree here.

Both "Draw 3, Play 2" and "Draw 2 and Use 'Em" both state that you 
put your hand aside.  To me, they are "outside" of your normal play 
routine, and thus do not count towards your draw or play limits.

Remember, they are Action Cards, not Rules Cards.

However, they are still affected by Inflation (if it's on the table).
