"A let alone B." Is A more or less than B?

It's interesting how some phrases look weird when taken out of a sentence.

I've seen a similar comment before about the phrase "for the time being". xD

I believe I've read something similar.

"We'll put it aside for the time being.
[Me, looking around with a panicked expression] Is it here with us right now?
- Who?
- THE TIME BEING!"
