For a nation that aspires to be a global superpower, its citizens are not traveling abroad as much as self-respecting citizens of a superpower would!
It appears that only about 20 percent of Americans own a passport. Here's an interesting
web page with some figures.
I don't have the figures for other countries but the American percentage seems quite low in comparison to what I'd expect from most other western democracies - or even Japan. (Canadians seem to have passports in double that figure.)

well, to be fair they have a much lower need for one, right?
for the most part im only going to need one if i travel overseas, but wouldnt europens (etc) need them to travel right next door?
