With each continuing resolution that gets automatically passed this way, every line item in the Federal budget is reduced by 5% from the previous year.

That is an excellent idea. And each automatic continuing resolution should include a one year period where no other increase in the total amount spent is allowed, unless there is a declaration of war or other similar emergency. Or just require any supplemental spending to be subject to a 2/3 majority vote like an override.

Not just a no spending increase make it a 5% permanent reduction in all spending each time a automatic CR is kicked in.
