While you seem to be alleging some great economic depression is behind McDonalds slump, that's not what they attribute it to:

McDonalds is a hamburger chain from the 1950s.
A lot has changed since the 50s, and McDonalds has had trouble appealing to modern customers. They also face a LOT more competition because there are many more fast food franchises than in years gone by, and convenience stores also sell a variety of lunch items now.
Also, Americans view of MCDonalds as food they should eat has changed. People are a lot more calorie and ingredient conscious now. (which is good) I've dropped 24 pounds in the last 5 months just by stopping fast food for lunch (home made sandwich and vegetables instead) and switching most of my snacking to fruits/nut/beef jerky. I think people get that a Big Mac and large order of fries is not a healthy meal.
