I have no idea where you are getting that fiction from. Cali is backrupt, they can't pay their teachers pensions, they have the lowest bond rating of any state except Illinois:

Biggest economy does not mean most prosperous
You are referring to the state of the government's finances. TAN is likely referring to more traditional measures of prosperity, such as the fact that California has the highest: GDP, GDP per capita, and average income of any US state.
