What federal corporation insures money deposited in member banks?
FDIC
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.
If the stock market crashes do you lose what you have in your savings account?
No. The money you have in your bank is insured by the Federal Despositor's Insurance Corp (FDIC) for up to $250,000 (it was $100,000 before the recent bailout bill). That means that the government will pay you back your deposits up to that amount if your bank were to fail. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FDIC

How would the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation help prevent another depression?
In and of itself, it wouldn't. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation is not an insurer per se. Instead, it is a quasi-government agency that uses tax dollars to prop-up and try to rehabilitate failing banks. The FDIC "insures" deposits to a stated amount per depositor. Therefore, if the bank fails, the FDIC reimburses the depositor for the amount that he/she/it had deposited up to the stated amount. While "bank runs" can be an elements of a "depression", there are many other causes of one. One of the primary causes is reduced demand for goods and services in an economy, which results in reduced employment, which in turn further reduces the demand for goods and services.
Was the fdic successful?
Yes, the FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation) was successful. In 1933, The United States was engulfed in a "Great Depression" and many people were put out of jobs. The unemployment rate was over 20%. The president Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Banking Act of 1933. This legislation established the FDIC as a temporary government corporation. The Banking Act of 1935 made the FDIC a permanent agency of the government and provided permanent deposit insurance maintained at the $5,000 level.I hope you all found this information helpful.

What did the Great Depression do for the US now in 1927?
The Great Depression led to some of the banking laws that we have now, including the FDIC. Other laws regarding the stock market were enacted then, and became part of the deregulation of the last few years, leading to some of the current problems. Another feature is that the people who are now in retirement were young during the depression. They learned to reuse items and to save and have become probably the most affluent elders in history.
