U.S. National Debt Clock : Real Time

When you scroll down to the 3rd section from the bottom which is Trade Numbers, there's something going on I've never noticed before. Under Imported oil, the numbers are rolling backwards. Does anyone here understand exactly why this is happening and what it means ?
Is it that we're exporting more oil or is it that our domestic oil is being used to pay the interest on our debt possibly ? I'm not an economist or market expert by any means, but even to an average joe like me, this seems strange.
 
We export more petroleum-based products than we import.
That makes sense when you include the countless petroleum products - plastics, lubricants and everything.
But why don't they call it exports ? ( the PTB would rather we never saw these overall horrific numbers for one thing )
 
Small business assets are rising, too. :113:

It looks like government is taking in plenty of money to me.
