Which body guarantees bank deposits in the US?

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or FDIC. They ensure up to $250,000 per depositor per institution until the end of 2013. However, recently their reserves have fallen below mandated minimums set by congress because there have been so many bank failures. The FDIC is only required to have about 3.5% of total deposits available to insure losses, because it is highly unlikely that all banks in the country will go broke all at the same time.

How does government sponsored deposit insurance affect your decision deposit money in a bank?

If the deposits in one bank are insured by the government sponsored deposit insurance whereas, in another bank this insurance is not available, it means that in case the first bank goes bankrupt, the government will give me my hard earned money that I put into my account with that bank, whereas it won't do anything if the other bank that does not have deposit insurance goes bankrupt and I stand to lose my hard earned money. So, I will deposit my money only in a bank that has the FDIC insurance on deposits available.
