Absolutely. Here is the entire quote:

"My aspirations for the country -- and I believe we can achieve it -- is for 4 percent growth as far as the eye can see," he said. "Which means we have to be a lot more productive. Workforce participation has to rise from its all-time modern lows. It means that people need to work longer hours and, through their productivity, gain more income for their families. That's the only way we are going to get out of this rut that we're in."

If he would have stated "get off the couch and..." before "work longer hours"; then there could be this implosion that the OP speaks of and his anger in the OP would be well justified by some. (I'm not saying that I personally wouldn't have added a "hell yeah")

As I've stated I think one source is the H-1B visas and the assertion there are not enough qualified American workers to fill the STEM jobs.

There's a different source taking away all the agricultural and landscaping opportunities; but that's for another thread.
