Its not necessary or useful to take money from businesses that aren't employing the person any more (after they quit with no notice and than worked for another employer) in order to give handouts to the former employee (from two years back). It certainly isn't necessary or desirable, to take money from these businesses, or from anyone else, to give a handout to someone who just walked away from work and never came back, esp. when the original employer (despite this action) was willing to higher the former worker back.

You believe the idea behind the program is a very good one. Lets accept that for a moment. That doesn't mean that these particular examples are not unreasonable and full of perverse incentives. A number of these examples are not people who lost their jobs, but rather just decided they didn't want to work any more.
