But "the state’s economy grew 27 percent faster than the country’s economy as a whole", and that's all that matters!

And says exactly nothing. Say the US economy has barely grown by 0.1 %. If California's economy would have grown by 0.2%, it would have grown 100% faster than the country's economy.

GDP growth for the US has been at 2.2-2.4 for the last 3 years[1]...if California is growing 25% faster, it isn't huge but it isn't negligible, either.
