To be fair, it isn't all that long ago California did have some major difficulties with the state government budget. But when Brown was governor the state got serious about being less easily tangled by economic downturns, cleaned up its finances, and set it up to save on the upturns, so the budget could cushion the fall on the downturns. All while having a left wing super majority, so don't let anyone tell you liberals can't figure out a budget. Plus, many California companies and individuals did surprisingly well in the pandemic, meaning state tax collections stayed high, which has allowed the state to run multiple mini-grant programs for smaller and more adversely affected businesses, and send out checks to middle and low income taxpayers, etc, without draining the rainy day fund.
