Will the A-10 go?

It seems as if the DoD/Pentagon has it in for both the A-10 and the U-2.

Will the A-10 really go? Especially after the recent contracts signed to provide new wings for the type. I can see the U-2 being retired as its role could probably be undertaken by drones (Global Hawk) or whatever they have flying around area 51 these days. This whole plan has to get through congress, but I am unsure how that will play out. Could the U.S. armed forces be as effective without the A-10?
