     We don't have to worry anymore, though, since Ronald McDonald announced proudly that he and his McDonald's franchise would put 50,000 Americans to work and America would be saved. This is a sad commentary on the state of the U.S. economy; McDonald's announced its April 19 "National Hiring Day," saying that the company wants 50,000 new employees.
