A nickel too much to get a dime

When someone is in need of public assistance, but make a nickel too much to be eligible.

"The cost of living has gone up so much that we're struggling to get by. I'm getting less food for a much higher price than a year ago, and my public assistance applications were denied. We would honestly be in a better place if I quit work and become eligible for all of the public assistance programs because right now I make a nickel too much to get a dime!"

Dollar weight on a dime

A gross over-complication of an otherwise simple task, or an asymmetrically severe reaction towards an issue not deserving of such. Like killing a unicorn with a bomb, or bringing a gun to a knife fight.

I can understand you being upset that I slept with your sister, but you're putting a dollar weight on a dime.
